Both of my parents are diabetic. Both of them were diagnosed at around the age of 50. My mother after her second pregnancy. My father is overweight and used to smoke.
I want to know what are the chances that my 2 siblings and I will develop this disorder? Can we prevent it or only delay it? I dont understand how my father got the disease because no one in his family has it and neither does anyone on my mothers side. How can this be genetic?
I am so confused and terrified. What do I say to my younger siblings?
