My mom has diabetes, how can I avoid getting it myself?

Question

I am about 10 pounds overweight and my doctor advised me to eat healthy and exercise regularly. I do both but on occasions I eat sweet snacks. To avoid getting diabetes, should I avoid sugary snacks all together? I go for a yearly check up every year, and my doctor says that I am healthy (besides my weight.)

Answer 1

ok...we have the same problem...my sister and grandfather are diabetic...and lately my sugar levels have been quite high,but i'm not overweight..
watch out..you should take a look at these:
There is some thought that diabetes is genetic and that we may be born with a tendency for this disease. It is well known that it runs in families and women who have had gestational diabetes during pregnancy are at risk as well. Can we prevent or delay the onset of diabetes? Yes, here are some simple ways to allow you to avoid or delay this disease.

1. Eat healthy and wisely. Eating smaller portions is a great way to lose weight. You can make it look like more by using a smaller plate or a salad plate. Avoid snacking while you are cooking. Don’t be tempted to eat the unfinished food to keep from throwing it away or storing it in the refrigerator. Eat breakfast every day, and make your meal and snack times regular by having them at the same time each day.
2. Limit your meat, poultry, and fish intake to no more than three ounces a day. In size, this is equal to about the size of a pack of cards. Another good tip is to listen to music instead of watching TV while you are eating. If you are watching TV while you are eating, you are not aware of how much you are eating and will almost always overeat.
3. Skip desserts and refined sugars. When eating out, have a good-sized vegetable salad to take the edge off your appetite. When you receive your entrée, share it with your dinner companion, or ask for a take-home box immediately after receiving your meal. Have meals that have been stir fried or baked.
4. Use low-salt broth instead of oil and butter.
5. Drinking a full glass of water before eating will also help reduce your appetite.
6. If you are eating at a fast-food restaurant, choose the healthier foods, such as grilled chicken, salads and fruits.
7. Increase your exercise. Next to diet, exercise is vital to a healthy body especially for diabetics. If nothing else, try walking every day or swimming at your local club. Taking walks is a nice way to keep up with your friends and an enjoyable, healthy way to take a break from work related stress. If possible, avoid the elevator and take the stairs as much as you can. You can try to march in place if you cannot get outside for some reason.

Which kind of diabetes does your mom has? there are two forms, 1 and 2. If she has 1 there is a lil more risk to get diabetes than if she has 2. About 10 % of people getting the more severe type 1 diabetes have a close relative with this type of diabetes.. so dont stress urself and just try to eat healthy.

Answer 5

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 6

The best thing you can do is eat healthy and don't let yourself get to heavy. Eating sugar will not cause diabetes. A lot ot the times diabetes can be controlled by you diet, but will assure you that that takes more will power than most people have. Right now you are doing everything right and you may not get it. My sister has it, my mother had it, my grandmother had it, my grandfather had it that I know of. As of now I have no signs of it.

Answer 7

Sounds like you are on the right track to staying healthy. Get rid of that 10# and you'll feel even better. Sweet snacks on maybe a once a week occasion is not a problem...daily it is. Because your Mom is a diabetic, there is a familial tendency for you to develop it too...so be careful!

Answer 8

I'm presuming you mean Type II diabetes that you're worried you'll 'catch'. Keep at a healthy weight. Have your doctor let you know what that is. Your mother's age is probably a factor. Eating sugar doesn't catch you a case of diabetes, though. Family history is against you but if you're 18 or older you already have dramatically lessened the chances of Type I.

Answer 9

you will have to change the way you eat. Find out what sweet snacks are good for you without hurting you. My mother's family has a long history of diabetes. All of her brothers and sisters are diabetic. However, my brother, sister, and myself do not have any signs of diabetes. In addition, we do not eat the same way our mother did. Good self control in eating properly is one of the keys in keeping healthy.

Answer 10

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
