It is a tad bit on the high side, but what about other symptoms? frequent thirst and urination? blurred vison? unexplained weight loss? I’d definitely keep an eye on my blood glucose levels if I were you. ———————————————–
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.
child has the same chance of getting Type 1 as any other child, but he is at a higher risk for Type 2 Diabetes.
There is no known cause for PCOS. The only link between that and diabetes is Insulin resistance.

Yes, an infant can get diabetes without family history. Anyone can.
First off make a doctors appointment for your baby.You are concerned and that is reason enough.
Weight loss and drinking a lot of formula or breast milk does indicate diabetes. A bad attitude [ if an infant can have one ] is also a sign.Just fussy.
Your infant does not use the toilet as one person has suggested but your doctor needs to know that you can press a dip stick into a really wet diaper.Keep the first morning diaper and take it to your appointment.
Your baby does not need to get out and exercise as some one else suggested.Who are these people ?
I wish you the best.

My dad died at 45 of a heart attack and my grandpa died of a heart attack at 44. is it bad for me to take ectasy even if im healthy and work out alot and eat right?
It’s bad for you to take Ecstasy at all, you idiot.
we need ivf to have children and our only option,due to money, is to egg share. we went to a consultation and on the face of things it’s all good. but the questionaire we have to fill out asks if i have any Family History of Diabetes mellitus. my younger brother died as a result of cerebral eodema caused by ths condition, although we weren’t aware he was diabetic until it was too late.no one else in our family has or is diabetic so will this class as a family history and will it stop me sharing my eggs?
I’m no expert, but I don’t think so. The guidelines state they will stop you donating if there is a family history of genetic or inheritable diseases, but diabetes is not necessary inherited. Did he need Insulin for his diabetes, or just medication diet controlled? The non-insulin dependent diabetes has little family link – its more to do with age, weight and diet. As there are no other members of your family that are diabetic, I should think this was NOT genetic, and therefore should not be a problem. I would suggest speaking with them anyway, to put your mind at rest. They may carry out some genetic testing just to make sure before you donate your eggs. Good luck with it, its a great thing to do. I looked into it, but I do carry a inheritable syndrome in my genes so its a no go for me!
All the very best. x
Is there anything that I can do so I can still continue eating sweets?
Sugar and sweets do not cause diabetes! It has nothing to do with it. What causes diabetes is the bodies inability to process glucose. ALL carbs turn to glucose, with an exception of fiber. Some people do not make Insulin or enough and other are insulin resistant. With a strong family history you want to keep your weight at a healthy level and stay active and exercise. If you do those things your chances are greatly reduced. If you’re eating a lot of sweets and little else your chances of gaining weight are much greater and this is an added risk factor for type 2 (insulin resistant) diabetes. In the case of type 1, it doesn’t matter what you eat or how much weight you gain, it’s an autoimmune disease.
