High risk ofdiabetes: This is your body. Because you are asian, you are at very high risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Make sure you are screened for "metabolic syndrome" by your doctor.

You tell us...: Do you exercise? How is your eating plan? Do you eat small meals throughout the day or just one big meal at night? Are there overweight and obese people in your family? Do you sleep enough at night, and is your sleep schedule regular and predictable? Do you drink water or more caloric beverages? These are some questions you need to answer.
