If it is in my family history already, can my lifestyle cause me to develop diabetes? |
my father had diabetes and my sister is hypoglycemic. I know I have a chance of developing either, but is there anything about a lifestyle that could increase those chances? My diet, drinking habits, sleeping habits and the amount of excerise I get? Yes, there are many factors. Most of the factors you described. The biggest factors are genetics, diet and exercise. If you get overweight and inactive, and have a genetic predisposition, you are almost gauranteed to become diabetic. All those can increase your risk. You need to try to eat healthy as possible and exercise. Do cardio at least 3 days a week for at least 30 minutes.....more if you can or work your way up to doing more. If you are overweight you need to get at a much more ideal weight. Yes, you are probably at risk. See your Doctor and follow a good diet plan. American Diab. Assn. - Google "Diabetes" Yes. Diabetes is more of a genetic disorder more than it is an effect of lifestyle. People who have it in their "blood," even if they stay away from sugar, are still more likely to become diabetic than people who don't have the gene and eat lots of sugar. watch your weight and eat healthy... Type 1 diabetes is the most inherited kind. Hypoglycemia can be control with diet and exercise... Type 2 is adult onset and that usually has to do with age...
