It is no secret that Asia is on the brink of a diabetes epidemic, if you will.<\/p>

The rapidly changing lifestyles, urban life and plethora of poor quality calories readily available in the form\u00a0processed foods<\/a> are putting more folks at risk of developing Type-2 diabetes. In fact, Singapore has the 2nd-highest proportion of diabetics<\/strong> among developed nations, according to a 2015 study by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), with 1 in every 9 Singaporean diagnosed with the disease.<\/p>

As it turns out, diabetes does not discriminate between ages - whether you're young or old, obese or lean. Despite eating right, getting the right amount of sleep and working out<\/a> to maintain a healthy weight, you may still be at risk of diabetes. We've outlined 7 common habits that surprisingly put you at significantly greater risk of the disease<\/strong> - browse them in the gallery above and if you're guilty of any of them, it's high time you kick them to the curb<\/a>.<\/p>
