What kinds of things make you vulnerable for diabetes?

Question

I've heard if you eat too much sugar you will get it. Is that true? Anything else?

Answer 1

Family history. Obesity. Eating habits. No exercise.
I get gestational diabetes.. and in my classes I was taught that its not the amount of sugar on a label,.. to be more concerned about the carbs.. because they convert bad sugars and increase your sugar levels.

Answer 2

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 3

I took the following from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002072.htm

You have a higher risk for diabetes if you have any of the following:

Family history of diabetes
Low activity level
Poor diet
Excess body weight (especially around the waist)
Age greater than 45 years
High blood pressure
High blood levels of triglycerides (a type of fat molecule)
HDL cholesterol of less than 35
Impaired glucose tolerance (identified by your doctor)
Diabetes during a previous pregnancy, or a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
Certain ethnicities -- African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Native Americans all have high rates of diabetes

Some people who eat a lot of sugar do get diabetes, but some don't. Eating a poor diet (one high in sugar and fat) is one of the risk factors of Type 2 Diabetes, but it usually has to fall in conjunction with some of the other risk factors. Check out the American Diabetes Association web site also www.diabetes.org

Answer 4

Eating much sugar, combined with a fatty, unhealthy diet, can cause diabetes. These factors increase your likelihood of being obese, and this too is a major risk factor. Having acute pancreatitis will likely cause diabetes, too.

Answer 5

Your mother or father,eating to much sugar is not good for you but unless you have diabetes is want cause is unless your pancreas cant handle it or stop producing insulin.Don t let the sugar rot your teeth out.

Answer 6

Lack of muscle, too much bodyfat and consuming lots of bad carbs including sugar. See site for more on this including eating lots of good carbs. Type 2. Type 1 is genetic.

Answer 7

True. Genetics also plays a major role: 1) if it runs in the family, 2) body type. Also alcohol raises your blood sugar level. My sweet tooth gets me in trouble so many ways....

Answer 8

a family history and a sedentary lifestyle. Eating sugary food does not cause diabetes but it triggers its onset...makes the signs appear

Answer 9

I have always thought that it is too much sugar and being overweight.
