diabetes question...?

Question

is diabetes a diseases that passes down through families... example a mother has diabetes and gives birth to a child.. will the child have diabetes?

Answer 1

Yes, it is likely that your child will have diabetes if your family members have a history of the illness. Treating diabetes is best carried out during the early stages of the disease when the consequences can still be controlled and minimized. Such an approach will require an early determination of diabetic symptoms. These diabetic symptoms are:

* Extreme and excessive thirst that is quite abnormal
* Hunger even when meals have recently been taken
* Frequent urination
* Fatigue easily creeps in
* Excessive weight loss at such a short period of time
* Smeared vision
* Nagging impatience that has recently been developed

Answer 4

Not always. There are two types of diabetes. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are at least partly inherited. Type 1 diabetes appears to be triggered by some (mainly viral) infections, or in a less common group, by stress or environmental exposure (such as exposure to certain chemicals or drugs). There is a genetic element in individual susceptibility to some of these triggers which has been traced to particular HLA genotypes (i.e., the genetic "self" identifiers relied upon by the immune system). However, even in those who have inherited the susceptibility, type 1 diabetes mellitus seems to require an environmental trigger. A small proportion of people with type 1 diabetes carry a mutated gene that causes maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY).

There is a stronger inheritance pattern for type 2 diabetes. Those with first-degree relatives with type 2 have a much higher risk of developing type 2, increasing with the number of those relatives. Concordance among monozygotic twins is close to 100%, and about 25% of those with the disease have a family history of diabetes. Candidate genes include KCNJ11 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11), which encodes the islet ATP-sensitive potassium channel Kir6.2, and TCF7L2 (transcription factor 7–like 2), which regulates proglucagon gene expression and thus the production of glucagon-like peptide-1. Moreover, obesity (which is an independent risk factor for diabetes) is strongly inherited.

Wolfram's syndrome - Wolfram's syndrome is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder that first becomes evident in childhood. It consists of diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness, hence the acronym DIDMOAD. Various other hereditary conditions may feature diabetes (e.g. myotonic dystrophy, Friedreich's ataxia).

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

I am a Diabetic and have been one since I was 17. My parents are not Diabetics. Also I have 2 boys and neither of them were born diabetics but they have a greater chance of becoming diabetics as they get older than others.

Answer 7

No, but the child will be more likely to get diabetes later in life than someone who has no family history of the disease.

Answer 8

no the child will not definitely get diabetes if both parents have it it's more likely the child will.
diabetes usually skips a generation passed down from grandparent to grand child.

Answer 9

Diabetes sometimes runs in families, sometimes not. But if a child is not breast fed, it has a greater risk of diabetes.

Answer 10

Not necessarily
My friend has diabetes and her mother or father does not have it!
