In my family I could say all of my grandparents have diabetes.My grand father diagnosed by diabetes when he was in his early 50’s age . My grandmother was diagnosed this year. My parents was aware of my grandmothers symptoms when she start showing being thirsty, pie a lot and, she used to get hungry a lot; we took her to hospital as possible. Having family with diabetes is very hard, my grandfather always complains of being tired and thirsty. My grandparents have different meal than as always so it hard to look for them to not eat a lot of sugary food and drinks. We always follow the right meal plan when we give them both take the insulin and once a week they test their blood sugar level to make sure the glucose level is on the right path.
A little under two years ago, one day after basketball practice, I received a call from an unknown number. It was a 512 area code, and I was curious to see who it was. I answered the phone– it was the regional president at the time, Barrett Dover, inviting me to join BBYO Lonestar Region. Even though I didn’t know Barrett that well, or know much about BBYO at all, this call was what led me to join. This personal call went a long way; for I would not be here today if it weren’t for Barrett and the 92 years of Alephs before me who have invited others to join BBYO.
Almost all of my family on the mother’s side has had or are living with Diabetes. In 10th grade, I had to do a report on Diabetes. I also do walks to support those with diabetes.

My grandma has had diabetes since 1994 and everyday I know what she goes through. When I was young she would always remind me not to eat too much fatty foods or stay exercising or else I would turn up like her. My grandpa on the other hand did not have controlled diabetes, which therefore led him to a kidney failure and he had to get a kidney transplant. He is constantly injecting himself with insulin and it hurts me knowing her has to go through this everyday. Knowing that diabetes is hereditary I know that I have a high risk of getting diabetes in the future and it has made me very health conscious of my day to day
Diabetes is a disease that runs on both sides of the family. On my father’s side, I have an aunt and grandma whom have recently been diagnosed with diabetes. On my mother’s side, my grandpa along with many of his siblings has had diabetes as long as I can remember. I also have a few uncles with prediabetes. Prediabetes is when a person has a higher blood sugar level than normal but isn’t quite high enough for the person to be considered diabetic. Each one of my family members that have diabetes has been diagnosed as Type 2. Type 2 diabetes does run in families, it has to do with genetics as well as children following in the footsteps of their parents. Adults with children are constantly setting bad habits and may not even realize it. Eating healthy and getting exercise is a habit that everyone needs to learn. According to the American Diabetes Association, if you have type 2 diabetes, the risk of your child getting diabetes is 1 in 7 if you were diagnosed before age 50 and 1 in 13 if you were diagnosed after age 50. A child 's risk is also increased when the parent with type 2 diabetes is the mother, and if both parents have type 2 diabetes, the child 's risk is about 1 in 2. Although neither of my parents currently have diabetes, the disease could still be passed on as the years pass by, my younger brother and I could still be at risk for developing diabetes, which is why I am taking every precaution I can at the young age of nineteen.

“About one-third of all people with diabetes do not know they have the disease. Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States in 2010 based on the 69,071 death certificates in which diabetes was listed as the underlying cause of death. In 2010, diabetes was mentioned as a cause of death in a total of 234,051 certificates.”(American Diabetes Association. American Diabetes Association, 6 Mar. 2013.) Why would Diabetes affect a family and why is it an important disease to learn about? Diabetes is a group of diseases that results in too much sugar in the blood (high blood glucose).

My cousins are not the only ones in my family that have type 2 diabetes. I have a closed family member with the disease this is my mother. Since I was a child my mother used to tell me her own stories about her bad eating habits and how she did not pay attention to my grandmother advices. I was growing up with that in my mind, she used to drink soda instead of water during the day. She used eat a lot pastries, bread, pasta all kind of food with high content of carbohydrates. She was overweight; her was around two hundred pounds. It was ironic because she did not have diabetes until she got
Over time both of my grandparents on my dad’s side and mom’s side developed health issues. Starting with my dad’s side, both my grandparents had type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the most common disorder of the endocrine and metabolic system and the 7th leading cause of death in the U.S (Teague). When people, like my grandma and grandpa, have type 2 diabetes, the pancreas produces little insulin or the body’s cells are resistant to it. In some cases, insulin binds to receptors on the cell’s surface, but the signal to transport glucose is block so it builds up in the bloodstream (Teague). Both my grandparents have had diabetes for as long as I can remember. As for me developing it, I could possibly develop
At first, I didn’t know much about diabetes mellitus. My grandmother has Type II so I have a bit of knowledge about that, but I was very unclear about Type I. After reading the article, I found myself more interested about how much someone had to change their lifestyle to suit diabetes. During the search, I discovered a friend of mine had Type I diabetes. He has to keep a closer eye on his diet like when he eats, what he eats, and the amount he eats. If he forgets, he might get sick or even pass out. I also found it interesting that Type I diabetes couldn’t be prevented, but Type II could. It made me realize that I need to pay more attention to my health and what diseases run in my
After thorough research into my family history I’ve realized that my family has a history of developing diabetes. Also known as Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases that develop in the human body because of too much sugar in the blood system. There are different types of diabetes such as type one, type two, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. Type-one diabetes is a chronic condition, in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Type-two diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar. Prediabetes is a condition when your blood sugar is high, but not high enough to be type-two diabetes. The final type of diabetes is Gestational diabetes which is a form of high blood sugar affecting only pregnant women. The human body needs an adequate amount of insulin production, so when your blood cells are deprived of insulin you develop diabetes. Diabetes affects over 382,000,000 people worldwide, so in perspective that’s ever one in eleven Americans has some form of diabetes. According to the center for disease control statistics,” out of the twenty-nine million people that have diabetes in the U.S, only twenty-one million have been diagnosed”. Which means about a quarter of Americans don’t even know they have diabetes yet. My family’s medical history consists of a variety of diseases such as diabetes, prostate cancer and AIDS.
