If my mother has diabetes am I guaranteed to have it later in life?




Type 2 diabetes, which is non-insulin dependent, is more likely to be seen in successive generations due to genetics. Avoiding excessive weight gain, remaining physically active and consuming a healthy diet help in preventing diabetes mellitus type 2. Your health care provider should monitor your blood tests (glucose level, hemoglobin A1c) to alert you if critical thresholds are exceeded and to guide you in prevention. Vitamin D is an important supplement which supports cells in your pancreas that produce insulin.
