Answer 1

hi there i'm a nursing student and i can tell you there are genetic dispositions to acquiring diabetes, but you can control or even keep from acquiring them by proper diet and regular exercise. high protein and good green leafy vegetables are a good start. your self control and smart living standards help to insure a long and healthy life. good luck

Answer 3

Diabetes as far as we know is passed on through our genes and not by eating sweets and drinking soda.But if we have the disease of diabetes and we eat sweets and drink soda then it will harm our bodies because Diabetic people lack a hormone called insulin that is needed to break down the sugar in sweets and soda .It sounds like you have not inherited Diabetes but you should talk to your parents about this as you seem worried.Diabetics get cravings for sugar like everyone else probably because their not supposed to be taking it into their bodies. I'm glad you are concerned about your family eating sweets while having diabetes as they are doing harm to their bodies. It might be wise to educate yourself on Diabetes and the side effects it causes on the body.
