(Diabetes genetics) My father has diabetes. How much influence might I be affected?

If one parent has diabetes, the child's risk of developing it is considered to be 20%.

One-line summary: There are many factors that influence the development of diabetes more than family history.

If both parents have diabetes, the rate is 30-35%. While this is a significant figure that cannot be ignored,

It's not exactly hopeless.

There are factors such as eating habits, exercise habits, and sleep habits that have a greater impact on the development of diabetes.

If you have a family history of diabetes, prioritize weight management.

Among people with a family history of diabetes, those who are overweight have a higher risk compared to those with normal weight.

There are domestic research results indicating that the progression of diabetes was rapid.

Consistently practicing diet and exercise can help you overcome family history.

===============

It seems that family history has less influence on the development of diabetes.

My father also has diabetes.

Mom is not here again.

Fortunately, except for my father

I'm glad I haven't had diabetes so far.

You need to take care of your health.
