well i dont eat meat.......but i do eat seafood like fish and shrimp and thats the only kind of meat i eat but today i did load myself with 6 oreo cookies and 4 hersheys white chocolate cookies. i just dont know if i am at a highrisk since my mom is diabetic. im not overweight. how do i reduce my risk? i have a huge sweet tooth. does the fact that i dont eat redmeat or pork or chiken (any meat other than seafood) decrease my chance? Im 16-21 years old.

Keep on eating like you are and you may just get diabetes but heredity plays a part in getting it too. Eating meat has nothing to do with it but all those sweets do and so does starches as they turn into sugar in the body. Start eating healthy and exercising regularly. At your age you know what a healthy diet is so I won’t go into it. With diabetes you may have to go on insulin and that means doing blood pricks daily and giving yourself shots when needed. I had a friend that had her leg amputated because of her diabetes. It can cause problems with your eyesight, feet, and circulation.

you are at risk because of your mom, meat wont hurt a diabetic, its that sugar junk, you need to stop overloading on that now or you will be a mess by 40, meat does not promote diabetes, over weight does and consumption of sugar and carbs is what gets you, reduce your risk by controlling your calories, carbs and fats and exercising a lot, you can eat all the lean meat you want.
