How likely am I to get diabetes? Preferably a doctors answer?

Question

I'm really scared because my family has a HUGE history of diabetes, and I'm probably next in line. All the women down from my great- great-great grandma has it. Do you think I'll get it during my teen years? (I'm 14) I'm too scared to ask, please help me!

Answer 1

you are at a significant risk based on your family history (its to early to say how high that chance will be but it would still be very significant)

however, the development of diabetes also depends on other factors like diet, age (your risk to acquire type 2 diabetes increases with age), ethnicity, and presence of other co-morbidities like obesity.

at this point, it is best for you to keep fit and have a balanced diet to minimize the risk of you having type 2 diabetes. this is termed a primary prevention since you are modifying the risk factors that will predispose you to diabetes

Answer 4

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Everyone has given you the chance ratios. The big thing is not to be afraid of it. If you get it there is plenty of support for you and not just at home. I've been fighting it for ever it seems and I knew from my family history I would probably get it. It's OK. No fun but there are a lot of things that are a lot worse. With all of the research going on from stem cell to transplants it may be that a permanent cure will be found in the very near future, even before you might get it. Don't take all the fun out of your life by worrying about it. Like a young girl asked her gram, "Gramma you must have seen an awful lot of trouble and sadness in your life." The old gram answered, "Yes, my child but most of it never really happened."

Why just a doctor, honey. There are years of experience and lots of knowledge on this page. These people know the disease from top to bottom. And your chances are probably good for the diabetes. But, remember this, it is not a death sentence. It is a wake up call to treat your body better and to feed it stuff besides junk food. Diet and exercise are the main keys, sometimes a little medication added into the mix helps. Stir generously and you can live to a very healthy, ripe old age. Don't be afraid, we are with you.

Answer 7

Although studies are inconclusive, there is an indication that diabetes is hereditary.

You can greatly reduce your chances of getting diabetes by living a healthy lifestyle, keeping fit and eating a low fat, low sugar diet, which ALL of us should be eating anyway.

Now before you go "oh g#*, do I have to go on that boring diet diet?" go and look up a few "diabetic diets" and yo will be amazed at just how well one eats on this "diet".

Answer 8

this could be various issues, Diabetes being considered one of them. I even have the various comparable indications and theory i could be a diabetic, so I went to the scientific professional final iciness and that they did a blood try. the outcomes have been unfavourable. there is no thank you to appreciate while you're diabetic or have the different form of scientific subject, different than doing a blood try. the final suggestion all of us could provide is to flow to the scientific professional and function them run a try.

Answer 9

if you are in the 50's you may get it then. if you are a girl you will but i would assume later in life. are there any young ones int his mix? if not yu wont' have to worry you can prolong it but just eating good and not over doing the sugar stuff such as pop and stuff like that diet once in awhile and not much of it i mean you can't drink 2 cans aday. don't worry maybe hopefully when you get it we'll be having cures for sometof them. we now have enhalers with insulin and its slowlying coming for us. take care.
