With the trend of diabetes occurring at a younger age due to factors such as Westernized diets and sedentary lifestyles, there's an increasing number of people developing prediabetes according to statistics from the Health Promotion Administration. Mainly affecting individuals with type 2 diabetes, poor lifestyle habits like being overweight in the waist, lack of exercise, sweet tooth, high-fat diets, prolonged sitting, and smoking contribute to early onset of diabetes. Notably, a patient in their thirties developed diabetes after drinking two sugary bubble teas daily. While diabetes itself might not be immediately fatal, its chronic complications can't be underestimated.
