My friend wants to know what are her cousins chances of getting diabetes? She is 11, she is pretty skinny, but she eats. A LOT. And hates vegetables. He grandfather and a few people before him had it. It skipped her cousin's dad and aunt. How could we get her to eat healthier, and what are her chances of getting diabetes?

I am a fuss eater myself and now I eat a few more vege then when I was 11 or teenager.
Let her know that tasted buds change every 2 twos.
They say if someone in your family has diabetes you have a greater chance. When did her grand dad have it just at the end of his life. Or early in his life. Because old people get lot of sickness just from been old.

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.

Diabetes usually skips generations. It is highly unlikely a Type 1 diabetic will give birth to a diabetic child (type 1) If it is your grandparents who are diabetic then I would get checked yearly, as should all your cousins. I would also watch for symptoms and just overall be more aware of it.

Read this article...it will give u a decent idea about what are someones chances of getting the disorder...


How do you get Diabetes?
There are two main types of diabetes mellitus. These are known as type 1 and type 2.

*
Type 1 diabetes mellitus used to be called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, or juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus, because it usually begins in childhood or adolescence.

*
In type 1 diabetes mellitus, the pancreas releases no insulin at all because the body has destroyed the cells that produce it (islet cells). The patient therefore relies on treatment with insulin.

*
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common form of diabetes. It used to be called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, or adult onset diabetes because it usually begins in adulthood.

*
In type 2 diabetes, patients can still produce insulin, but they do not produce enough and/or their bodies cannot use it properly.

Another form of diabetes, known as gestational diabetes, occurs in some women during pregnancy. It is a temporary condition caused by pregnancy and usually occurs in the later stages, once the baby has formed but is still growing.

there are 2 types of diabetes.
TYPE 1 diabetes is genetic and present during childbirth. people with type 1 diabetes need insulin shots because their pancreas in either not producing enough insulin or that the insulin produced by the pancreas is defective

TYPE 2 diabetes has a later onset. usually in the mid 20s-30s.
the most common risk factor for type 2 diabetes is being overweight. in this scenario, the insulin produced by the body can't put the sugar (glucose) from the blood and into the cells. this type of diabetes can also be hereditary.

basically, if she does not get overweight, there is less likely that she will have this condition. certain thyroid diseases can also lead to diabetes.
however, i'm not saying that if she stays skinny, she will not have diabetes. it always helps to have a healthy diet and lifestyle. i guess i would suggest that she should try changing her diet one step at a time.

Her cousins chances are the same as any other 11 yo. Not worse, not better.

In other words the things you described are totally irrelevant to her chances of getting diabetes at age 11 - or any other age.

Share this with her. Share ALL of it. And watch the short video clip with her.

DAMAGE FROM DIABETES

Damage to the retina from diabetes (diabetic retinopathy) is a leading cause of blindness.
Damage to the kidneys from diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) is a leading cause of kidney failure.
Damage to the nerves from diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) is a leading cause of foot wounds and ulcers, which frequently lead to foot and leg amputations.
Damage to the nerves in the autonomic nervous system can lead to paralysis of the stomach (gastroparesis), chronic diarrhea, and an inability to control heart rate and blood pressure with posture changes.
Diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis, or the formation of fatty plaques inside the arteries, which can lead to blockages or a clot (thrombus), which can then lead to heart attack, stroke, and decreased circulation in the arms and legs (peripheral vascular disease).
Diabetes predisposes people to high blood pressure and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These independently and together with hyperglycemia increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and other blood vessel complications.
Many infections are associated with diabetes, and infections are frequently more dangerous in someone with diabetes because the body's normal ability to fight infections is impaired. To compound the problem, infections may worsen glucose control, which further delays recovery from infection.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Watch the 8-minute non-profit video http://www.rawfor30days.com/view.html , about diabetes diet.
Best of luck.
