Hi!

I wanted to ask if anyone struggling with diabetes has close relatives who suffer from it as well. I am the first person in my family to have this condition but I worry about my daughter. Is there a bigger chance she can develop it as well because of my history? Thank you

Good advisor

Hi @brokencookie

How are you doing today?

This is a great question, thank you for getting the discussion started. The best way to understand if diabetes is hereditary is by asking your doctor, but I will tag a few members so they can give you their experiences and let you know if it is something that runs in their family.

Are you the first person in your family to have diabetes? Do others in your family have diabetes? Do your children have diabetes? Do you think it is hereditary?

Take care,
