you will get everything you want to know

Presently there is no cure. There are shots, pills, and pumps to give the medication. each person has his or her own dosage and it has to be worked out by the patient and the doctor. There is a lot to know and it is impossible to tell everything here. but it is a disease that can hit at any age and takes a toll on not just one organ, but the entire body, all organs, even the skin will be affected. It can cause blindness and kidney disease, heart problems, you name it. The blood sugar is to be kept at a normal level and exercise and diet and medication all work together. Most likely, your father will have to take medicine his entire life. My best advice is to go on line and get all the information you can and it's mind boggling. Be ready to take forever to learn everything. New things pop up all the time. And most of all, pray for a cure. I've had it nearly 40 years and I am still learning.

One of the best and accurate resources for Diabetes information is the book "Diabetes for Dummies". It is written by and Endocrinologist (An expert Dr in the field).

Just because your dad has it doesn't mean that you will get it, though it does put you at risk.

You could start your research with the American Diabetes Association's web site.
