Do i have a risk to get diabetes if my my mother had type 2 diabetes? Also i love sugar.

Besides being overweight which is the most common reason, there's a lot of other reasons that may cause diabetes type 2. Another thing is age, the older you get, the chance are bigger you can get diabetes. I know it's already written, but I'll write it again, if you want to prevent it you should, of course, pay attention to nutrition and your eating habits in general. You can read more in the article below. https://www.hsph.harvard.

Type 2 diabetes has a genetic component and a very large lifestyle component. Type 2 diabetes can be reversible with the following measures (I have seen this happen with many people) 1) Low carb diet (ketogenic approach if diabetes is severe, low carb / paleo style if not so severe), avoiding all added sugars, limiting or eliminating sweet fruits and starchy vegetables. 2) Weight loss to optimal level (keto / low carb helps greatly with this). 3) Exercise - regular.

Get more active, adopt an exercise program, avoid being overly sedentary. Get out and do things. If you indulge in binge drinking, or drink excessively, this needs addressed. Alcohol abuse can lead to all kinds of health problems. Smoking cessation is also important, for general health reasons. 3. Diet: You can make some changes in your diet to include more healthy choices.

Some people are able to control Type 2 diabetes with losing and maintaining healthy weight, lowering carb intake and regular exercise. Some are not, and need medication. It is impossible to answer your question because every diabetic is different and it would depend on how high your numbers were to begin with and what you ate and did. Serious consequences (complications) from diabetes don't occur in 24 hours, they occur over time spent at high numbers.

As far as reducing your risk for Type 2 Diabetes in general, whether you ave Hepatitis C or not, a healthy diet (fresh vegetables and fruits, lower fats, no fast food or junk food) and regular exercise are extremely important in Diabetes prevention. Also, if you are overweight, losing weight helps prevent Type 2 Diabetes. If you have already developed Type 2 Diabetes, weight loss may be all you need to clower your blood sugar to normal levels.

If your fasting glucose level is 100 to 125 mg/dL, you have a form of pre-diabetes called impaired fasting glucose (IFG), meaning that you are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes but do not have it yet. A level of 126 mg/dL or above means that you have diabetes. You can get this under control by carefully monitoring your nutrition along with doing moderate exercise. There is no cure for diabetes. Once you're a full blown diabetic you're one for life.

I know I am insulin dependent because I cannot take my pump off except for the rare few minutes or so without my sugar sky rocketing. Now would u still call this Type 2 Diabetes or Type 1? Hearing the words Juvenile Diabetes associated with Type 1 throws me off obviously because I was not diagnosed as a juvenile. But also the words Insulin Dependent are associated with the Type 1. So I DO fit into that category.

We have a seperate forum for Diabetes type 2 and Diabetes prevention. Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed, leading to high glucose levels in the blood and resulting in impaired metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It's sometimes referred to as insulin dependent diabetes.
