2. A patient following a high-protein diet
3. A 30-year-old Caucasian patient who recently had a baby
4. A patient living in rural America
A 40-year-old with weight centered in the abdomen
Rationale: The risk factors for type 2 diabetes include obesity (especially the "apple" shape or abdominal obesity), high caloric intake (especially carbohydrates), physical inactivity, living in an urban setting, and a lower level of education. Consuming a high-protein diet and postpartum status do not appear to be risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Individuals living in urban areas, perhaps due to more sedentary lifestyles, may be at higher risk for type 2 diabetes.
