Specializes in Psychiatry

Ask family: The way to know if you have a family history of diabetes is to ask family members. Your parents would be the best source of information, but grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins are all options. You want to check with those blood relatives if they have been diagnosed with diabetes.
