Answer 4

If you're talking about Type 1 Diabetes and are a girl, then genetically the likelihood is that you will be a disease carrier but will not be inflicted by the disease. If you're a boy, then neither would you be carrying the disease or suffer with it. However, though Type 2 Diabetes essentially follows the same genetic pattern, these days, it is more of a 'lifestyle' disease. It tends to affect people at and above the age of 40 who are overweight (diet, exercise and general health status plays an important role) and if you have a family history, then there is an added reason for you to be more cautious! Hope this helps answer your question.

Answer 5

High enough that it would be smart to start eating right today. I'm a type II diabetic, same situation almost exactly. I've reversed it twice with diet and exercise, but now I take R-Lipoic acid over the counter, and use cinnamon bark.

Just cut out the processed sugars and starches- i.e. white bread, potatoes.. and eat lots of fiber. Fiber slows the absorption and for us type II diabetics sometimes that can make all the difference. And for some reason sourdough breaks down slower, too and I can eat it. It's great with garlic and olive oil or used to make pizza crust. Fresh fruit in moderation. Proteins and vege. you can eat all you want, as they don't count unless they're veges that are also considered starches like peas, corn... just use moderation on those.

Eat right now and you may not need medication later at all. Prevention!

Answer 6

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 7

Family History
The genetic link for type 2 diabetes is stronger than the genetic link for type 1. Having a blood relative with type 2 diabetes increases the risk. If that person is a first-degree relative (e.g., a parent, sibling or child), the risk is even higher.

Ethnic Ancestry
Being of Aboriginal, African, Latin American or Asian ethnic ancestry increases the risk of developing of type 2 diabetes. Risk levels for these groups are between two and six times higher than of Caucasian origin.

Answer 8

Definitely you are at risk. If it is type I that runs in your family, there is probably nothing you can do to stop it. However, type II you can actually prevent (sometimes) by adopting a diabetic diet early in life. Basically this means following the food pyramid and eating sensibly.

Answer 9

Type I diabetes, most commonly known as "childhood diabetes" because it starts in childhood or early adolescence, is hereditary. Type II diabetes, mostly associated with people over a certain age or those who are overweight, is not hereditary. However, if you are overweight, your chances of getting diabetes at some point just greatly increased.

Answer 10

Yes you are at high risk, but there are things you can do to avoid diabetes.

Watch your sugar intake and most of all curb you alcohol intake.

Watch your weight.

Answer 11

I am in almost the exact same situation, but my dad DOES have minor borderline diabetes. I am trying to be careful, and I advise you do as well. My dad and his sister, who has a very bad case of diabetes, always warn me to be very careful.
