    The risk factors for diabetes include family history, race, age over 45, obesity, cholesterol levels, and hypertension. Obesity is the most important risk factor because it can lead to insulin resistance and worsening of the disease. Weight loss is key to treatment. A survey in Macau found that 25.5% of residents are overweight and 5.1% are obese, with men more severely affected at 29.4% versus 21.4% for women. Over 90% of diabetic patients become type 2 due to being overweight. While diabetes cannot be perfectly prevented, lifestyle changes like exercise, diet, and smoking cessation can improve risk factors and delay onset of diabetes in high-risk individuals by around 60%.

    The risk factors of diabetes included family history, race/ethnicity, age (≥45years), obesity,

    high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and hypertension (≥140/90mmHg) (American

    Diabetes Association, 2016). Obesity is the most worthy of attention among them because it

    can make an impact on insulin resistance and disease progression (Belkina & Denis, 2010),

    weight loss is the key in treatment. According to the survey in Macau, the proportion of

    residents who are overweight and obese is 25.5% and 5.1%; male is more severe (29.4% vs.

    4.60%) （澳門特別行政區衛生局，2017）. WHO (2015) revealed that overweight is

    leading over 90% of diabetic patients develop to type 2. Although there is no method of

    intervention can prevent diabetes exactly, some of the risk factors able to improve and around

    60% of diabetes can be delayed in high-risk individual by implementing an appropriate

    lifestyle such as physical activity, health diet and smoking cessation (Tuomilehto et al., 2001).

    Knowler et al. (2002) also revealed that these lifestyle interventions especially exercise and

    diet can reduce the risk of progressing from impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) to diabetes by

    43-58%.
