for the last 5 generations my family have developed unstable diabetes around the age of 50-55 years of age - which needs regular insulin. my mother and her sister and brother have not got it. can it skip a generation and i can get it .my own father was also diabetic, so is there a strong link, gp keeps testing me for it.
grans had it for 45 years and i have seen the effects it can have and the close monitering it needs and i'm a little scared really as life is fast approaching that age. i know it can be treated affectively. has anyone else been scared they might also get it, how did you cope.

About an hour after I eat i get very weak and tired and i cant sit up and have to go lay down. I get very thirsty also and have to go pee alot. In the past I have had problems with very low Blood sugar and the doctor told me that I might become a diabetic, Back in Dec of 2006 I had a A1C test done and the test was normal . I have a feeling that my blood sugar is going too high by being weak and tired, the thirst and peeing alot.

I have a cholesterol level/rating of 5.7 which is moderate to high risk. A typical day's diet:
Breakfast: a banana or oranges,
Lunch: 100% whole wheat bread w/ cheese (no margarine or butter) or 100% whole wheat bread w/ peanut butter.
Dinner: White rice w/ veggies and a meat dish (chicken wings or pork ... I don't often eat red meat) .. or some nights it's just white rice with veggies and tofu ... or white rice with spinach and salmon.
And for desert I do have a scoop of ice cream or stuff my face with watermelon.
I do snack on fruits like grapes and strawberries. I also wonder whether I can get diabetes from all this natural sugars!

Perhaps my dinner isn't the healthiest (??) but is it the cause of increasing my cholesterol levels? This year I have been pretty lazy with my workouts so past months, I've only worked out once a wk versus my past 3X a wk. Hence the weight gain ... but I'm curious about the increase in cholesterol level.
I'm 27, abt 5'5" and maybe 130-135lbs

My dads eyes are bleeding inside causing his vision to become blurry and will eventually cause blindness. What is the name of this condition? Also, their is a cancer drug treatment they can use to cure this condition but it isn't FDA Approved. Would you know what this drugs name is? I could contact my mom to find out but I'm not on speaking terms with her. I found this out through family. I'm afraid shes neglecting my dad by not getting him the treatment he needs, becasue of their money situation. Their insurance wont pay because drug isnt FDA approved

What can we do to get people to stop beleiving the myths that sugar alone causes Diabetes? It seems where ever I go a lot of people still hang onto the myth that sugar or eating something sweet causes Diabetes. These myths are not true even where I live the myths about Diabetes are still beleived.

I know there is a urine test like Diastix that can check glucose levels but I don't know if that's accurate. I don't have medical coverage nor money to see a doctor. I work full time but all my money goes to my home, and to support my kids.
