Good days ( I think it's a beautiful day because we live it)
Today I took a bold step

Three sons were a fantastic result under 5.5 mmol I'm very happy for them

Is there any suggestion I thank you in advance

I started to be convinced that diabetes is caused by nutritional problems that exceed the need of the body. The genetics factor does not think so. So anyone can reverse the situation by looking at the root of the problem

It's nutrition​
 
Great results! I test my 15 year old every couple of months before and after a carby meal, as I’m T1, and T2 runs in his dad’s family. So far, so good.

I am going to disagree partly. I have 4 recorded generations of type 2 in my family, starting in out mid 40's, and to the thin and fat ones. I think there is a genetic predisposition or fault for some families, which makes it get triggered.

I agree that the answer, for many, is a nutritional change. It cant only be nutrition otherwise more people with high carb diets would become type 2 diabetics, and that hasnt happened.

I was asked as part of some diabetes research if I had parents or grandparents who were Type 2 like me. They didn't have any obvious symptoms but maybe they just were undiagnosed. Have they always routinely measured blood glucose?
 
Just my opinion but I’m going to disagree with testing apparently healthy children! Why put them through it, especially the younger ones who won’t understand why you’re doing it. You know how to feed them in a healthy way, and you also know the symptoms to look out for. I have two young adult kids who I won’t test but I would advise a Drs appt if they showed any symptoms.
My diabetes isn’t hereditary, I’m the first to have it and my kids know they are at a higher risk now I’ve been diagnosed.
 
I doubt very much people in past generations were measured for glucose unless they presented with typical symptoms. I was also asked if there are others in the family with diabetes. I had to say no, but really I have no idea. My parents were born in 1915 and were not alive to ask when I was diagnosed, plus I have no siblings and only one first cousin who, as far as I know, does not have diabetes. My own daughter is not diabetic, and neither are her adult children. I do have one direct ancestor who died of diabetes, but that was in 1897 when he was 72.

I respect your opinion very strongly, but allow me to disagree with you. If he was diagnosed early, I could control the disease soon without any problems

I respect your opinion too, but pleased don’t get obsessive about it, let them live young and worry free, but educated about eating well.

Here we agree but with a little care
We should not let them choose what they want without any control Because this varies from country to country here there is no control over sales
 
It seems to me that there are two different illnesses here: T2 and T1. While they may have the same symptoms, the causes are very different.

T2 appears to have a very strong genetic link, combined with a nutritional element. Plus I've never heard of any non-obese kids getting it, so if I were a T2 parent I'd be spending my energy on encouraging appropriate (not high carb but no need to go keto) diets for my kids, and ensuring that they aren't obese. (Still not sure whether obesity is a cause or a side effect of T2, but in either case avoiding poor food choices such as sugary sweet drinks is a good thing.)

As a T1 parent I've never blood tested my (now adult) children, but I did use to test their urine on the rare occasions that they were extra thirsty. Given that you pass out sugar in urine once your blood sugar goes over 10, that seems like a good early warning system which doesn't stress out the children. (And honestly, I think I had occasion to do it less than half a dozen times during their childhoods.)

I think the problem stems from eating too much
Making the body produce insulin more and more. Energy is stored in the form of animal fat on the waist and buttocks. This leads to obesity and thus insulin resistance. It gets worse when insulin sensitivity to high glucose is weakened the nutrition is problem root
