Your Genes may be telling you that you have type ii diabetes

Every day somebody somewhere in the world is diagnosed with type ii diabetes. It doesn't sound like a big deal compared with the vast amount of diseases that the human body can develop but unfortunately, it is. The problem with type ii diabetes is that it is a silent potential killer.
The symptoms of type ii diabetes can often be attributed to a myriad of other complaints from fatigue to excessive dieting. Not only are the symptoms difficult to read they are not the type that immediately sends alerts to the brain to see a doctor. Symptons of type ii diabetes are generally painless. It is usually only when we are uncomfortable or in pain that we seek medical assistance. If you have type ii diabetes and wait until that stage it will be too late.
The only way to accurately determine if you have type ii diabetes is to have a diabetes test by a qualified medical professional. There is nothing at all wrong with conducting a home urination test if that is available in your country but this must be followed up with a proper physical examination by a doctor. Whilst home testing can be useful it is not accurate and certainly not an appropriate measure to accurately diagnose the extent of the disease and the appropriate treatment.
Children generally develop type one diabetes in childhood but it is becoming a trend for children now to develop type two diabetes. In Japan type ii diabetes affects at least 80% of recently diagnosed children. Studies in Australia and New Zealand indicate that some ethnic groups are at greater risk of developing childhood diabetes. In particular, children at risk are Torres Strait islanders, Maoris, Pacific Islanders and Aborigines.
Your genes may make you more susceptible to diseases that can be inherited. Diabetes is no exception. A parent that has type ii diabetes is highly probable to pass that disease to their offspring.
Genetics plays a large role in our good health. In order to ensure that we can care for our bodies to the best of our knowledge it is necessary to keep accurate family medical history records. If you have not already got a record of your family's medical history I highly recommend that you start work on one. Your family history of medical issues should keep track of any diseases, problems or susceptibilities that family members may suffer from. By keeping an accurate record of these matters future generations will be able to utilise your hard work to ensure that they take measures to prevent developing type ii diabetes.Find out more about diabetes at Diabetic Aid
