Question by SSTLM: What are the chances my newborn son will have diabetes if my husband is type 2?
My husband is 31 years old. He got type 2 diabetes 4 years ago. We now have a newborn and I’m nervous he will get diabetes in his life as well. Anyone know the risks? Thank you!

PS – I am not diabetic and did not have gestational diabetes either. My son was born full term and of healthy weight and size.

Having a parent with Type 2 diabetes does predispose your child to the disease, but there are many other factors. I hope this website will help you:

Recent phospho- and glycomic approaches have shown that an increase in global O-GlcNAcylation affects phospho-site occupancy at nearly every actively cycling site. A chemico-enzymatic photochemical enrichment method, combined with ETD-mass spectrometry allows detection of O-GlcNAc site occupancy at a level of sensitivity comparable to that possible for phosphorylation. These analyses show that crosstalk between site-specific phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation is extensive. Many kinases are both modified and regulated by O-GlcNAcylation. The major sensor of cellular energy state, AMPK is O-GlcNAcylated. AMPK and O-GlcNAc transferase share many substrates and the two systems directly interact. Major signaling cascades (eg. CDK1, aurora kinase, polo kinase) that regulate cell division are strikingly affected by a small change in O-GlcNAcylation. O-GlcNAc is part of the histone code, but many of the O-GlcNAc residues are at sites interacting with DNA in the nucleosome, not in the histone tails. Multiple core ribosome proteins are modified by O-GlcNAc, which plays a role in ribosome biogenesis and …

Question by britmcclain: What are the signs of diabetes and when should I be tested?
Lately I’ve found myself urinating quite oftem, very thristy, and feeling very nauseated when I have eaten something in a few hours. Could this possibly be symptons of diabetes?

Diabetes does run in the family and I just found out that two more realitives were diagnosed. They are much older though, I’m only 23. I’m hoping that I am just being paranoid.

What are the symptoms and what can I do to make sure I don’t get them if at all possible?

Best answer:

Answer by Max
Get your blood sugar tested by a doctor, or by a family member who has a blood glucose meter.

The symptoms I displayed when I was diagnosed were constant thirst, frequent urination and blurry vision.

Question by Duke: I am pre-diabetic. What kind of diet and nutrician program do I need to follow in order to avoid diabetes?
Do I need to avoid sugar completely?
What are some specific foods that work in my new diet?
Any additional advice on living with and coping with pre diabetes would be appreciated?

Answer by brasilera67
I would suggest doing so, yes. Sugar is taboo when you are pre-diabetic. I recommend cutting out all “white” foods, i.e., white rice, white bread, potatoes and corn. Switch to brown rice (which is pretty tasty), wheat or multigrain bread. Stay away from sodas and drink plenty of water.

Wouldn’t hurt to incorporate exercise in your daily living.

Question by sand_mansb: Is it possible to get diabetes after testing negative for it?
5 years ago I was heavier than now, and had frequent urination. So I was tested for diabetes. The test came back negative. Since then I have exercised more, lost weight, brought my blood pressure down, and now participating in ncaa sports in college. But I have a weird feeling in my feet like blood is not circulating there. Every now and then if I eat something unhealthy I get head aches. But that’s about it is possible to develop diabetes later in life.

Answer by m b
Weird feeling?? Why are you psyching yourself out?
You’ve dramatically progressed, as far as weight and body progression !
Congratulations, I definitely would not stress or freak yourself out, if you have more problems trusting yourself, I would go get re-tested.

Question by hotmoma1: What are early signs of diabetes? And what kind of testing is done to check for it?
I bruise easily and was told it could be a sign of diabetes. I am only 27. Also what do doctors do to test for diabetes?
Also I get light headed sometimes, hotflashes, can go from happy to sad at times,I do urinate frequently but always have,sometimes I feel weak like I dont have energy like usual I dont know if any of these symptoms have anything to do w/ this but if I dont control my moods my husband is going to leave me. I dont know whats going on. I will get a bruise and it will take months for it to disappear. I was adopted so I dont know much about my medical history but I do know diabetes,strokes, cancer, thyroid disease runs on my bio. fathers side.
