my father had diabetes and my sister is hypoglycemic. I know I have a chance of developing either, but is there anything about a lifestyle that could increase those chances? My diet, drinking habits, sleeping habits and the amount of excerise I get?

Yes, there are many factors. Most of the factors you described.


The biggest factors are genetics, diet and exercise.

If you get overweight and inactive, and have a genetic predisposition, you are almost gauranteed to become diabetic.

Hi,

the causes of diabetes are still unknown, but it is evident that it can be inherited.

As you have diabetes in your family already it would be wise to take whatever steps you can to avoid putting yourself at risk.

Weight...it is understood that excessive weight is a contributory factor to the development of diabetes. So if you are overweight, try to reduce your weight with diet and excercise.

Excercise is not only good for your body as a whole, but helps strengthen the heart. Diabetics are more prone to heart attacks, especially when overweight.

Sugar intake...although there should be no reason why a healthy non-diabetic should have any reaction to sugar there seems to be a link between high sugar intake and the development of diabetes. So you'll have a better chance of avoiding diabetes if you avoid high sugar foods.

It is not guaranteed you will develop diabetes even if all your family is affected, but the chances are higher. Do your best to avoid the other contributory factors and you will be on the way to leading a healthy non-diabetic life.

Hope you make it,

BobSpain

Here you can find a very effective natural treatment for diabetes: http://diabete-cure.gelaf.info

Diabetes can be "reversed" or go into "remission". I believe that what that is is decreasing the need to take medications. A person who has diabetes will always have it... but there are cases where a type 2 can either reduce medications or even eliminate them... but will still need to watch diet, get plenty of exercise and keep their weight down. This is called management and control. However, that does not mean that there will never be one. Research has taken huge advances and the more scientists learn about it, the higher likelihood that a cure might come about someday.
While I did recently read an article that stated gastric lap band or gastric bypass MAY be a potential cure, more research is needed and even if this one day is a cure, it would only be effective on type 2s who are obese since neither of those procedures are performed on people who are of normal weight or body mass. Stem cell transplants are still highly controversial and most likely, have a long way to go before it is approved as a diabetes cure by the FDA. Since the vast majority of diabetics are type 2 (roughly 90%), those of us who are type 1 seem to get lost in the shuffle. EMT type 1 for more years than I care to remember, use a pump. Let me add that when I mean diabetes can be controlled and managed without medication but with diet, exercise and weight control, I'm referring to type 2. This is not an option for type 1s, who must take insulin, either by injections or a pump, to survive.

.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 type 2 diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise, if a person is willing to significantly change their lifestyle. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise. It is hard to believe, but watch the 8-minute non-profit video at rawfor30days.com, about diabetes diet, and see how this can be done.
Best of luck.
The removal of parasites, heavy metals and candida play a role in regaining good health, also.

Yes there are things that can increase the chances of you having diabetes. All or most of the things you stated can affect your chances such as diet and exercise. I don't don't about sleeping habits. Trying your best to keep your diet healthy can help decrease your chances also getting some exercise. I would also talk to your doctor to help you. Have your blood sugar checked. Well if your doctor knows your family history he or she should be having your blood tested as often as needed.

You are possibly going to get diabetes, but to reduce the effects you should be eating a diabetic diet. Cut out sugar and products made with sugar. Get a blood test about every 6 months. Also, if you can, walk briskly about a mile a day.

Adult onset diabetes is TOTALLY unavoidable!! Just because your father has it and your sister has issues with her bloodsugar, you don't have to join them!

You lifestyle and food choices have EVERYTHING to do with adult onset diabetes.

You should sleep 7 to 9 hours a night, no more! Do cardio that makes you really SWEAT for a minimum of half an hour every single day. Follow a low fat, high fiber, protein rich diet.

I recommend you go buy this book right away "YOU: on a diet" by Dr. Oz

Anyone that says you are doomed to be like the rest of your family doesn't know jack, by the way. Get that book and get healthy or you can live a short disease filled life, if you call that living.

Reduce your current stress. Your stress hormone cortisol is usually activated by extremely low-calorie diet plans, intense training, lack of snooze and day-to-day worries, which leads to a spike in glucose levels as part of your blood. More worryingly, it can help with blocked arteries and fat develop around your internal organs, putting you prone to diabetes and heart disease. The only real prescription for this is to… hang out.
