Answer to Question 1

A family history of diabetes, prior history of gestational diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, older age, physical inactivity, and race and ethnicity can predispose one to type 2 diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

An excess of sodium may cause edema. This edema adds pressure to artery walls that can cause hypertension. Thus, an excess of sodium is frequently associated with cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and congestive heart failure.
