[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2573438, member: 521715"] [USER=566105]@PeterB2023[/USER] There is definitely a genetic or epigenetic link to a tendency to getting T2. I don't think anyone has actually proved it yet as other factors come into play as well. All I know is I was deemed low risk until I aged and a sister got diagnosed. Those 2 factors (which I could do nothing about) sent me to the GP, thinking it won't be me, but yes it was. No symptoms, no history, a lifetime of healthy eating fruits, cereals, pasta... Now after 3 years of learning I think ablood test showing prediabetes in 2006 should have been given much more importance (I don't remember ever being told about it but it's on my medical record) as in the intervening 17 years I could have developed all sorts of the complications and tipped over in full blown T2 at any point. So, regardless of how your diabetes was obtained, I'd urge you to accept it and take action now, and for ever more, to prevent it getting worse. A few dietary changes are easy to do to keep the medications and doctors at bay [/QUOTE]
