Asad's family history put him at a higher risk of developing condition.
Before I lost the weight I didn't feel comfortable talking to people about their weight and how it was linked to Type 2 diabetes.
Asad knew his risk of developing type 2 diabetes was very high as he had a family history of the condition. But it was still a shock when our Know Your Risk tool confirmed his fears, and it made him take action to reduce his risk.
