A member asked:
What do you suggest if my husband's mom died of diabetes 10yrs ago, is it possible that my husband can have diabetes.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Type 1 or type 2?: Hi. Type 2 in a parent greatly increases the chances of an offspring having type 2; not so for type 1. Therefore, if his Mom was type 2, yes, hex's at risk. He should (you all should) eat healthily and exercise regularly for life. Diabetes is easy to test for. 4 ways to test for diabetes: fasting glucose, random glucose, glucose tolerance test, and A1c (all have their own diagnostic criteria).
