Hello, I'm new here I joined the forum because I just received news. Yesterday, talking with a friend that she is prone to have Diabetes, has 16, dr.He told him that he is so to speak very little Have diabetes. At 16, it is very desperate to have to fulfill the Indications of the doctor, in terms of the things you can't eat. I know it's a difficult age, and above all there were comments on your part that made me feel like doing the most easy things, but I have no idea how I can help, I would like them to leave their opinions or advice, I will thank you very much :)
From what you tell us, your friend is not diabetic, but must have a family history or risk behaviors (inadequate food, obesity, sedentary lifestyle) that make her prone to being type 2 diabetic in the future, because the propensity to diabetes in diabetesType 1 (which is diabetes that usually occurs in children and young people) practically does not exist.
Give us more data to be able to guide you, or tell him to pass through the forum.I have a 16 -year -old daughter, diabetics since 8 (and was not prone)
As Alea has told you, if it is prone to risk behaviors.
The best thing your friend can do at this time is to change the lifestyle, feed healthy, exercise regularly, not abuse products harmful to the level of sugar: sweets, nougat, alcoholic beverages, coca-colas ...
Tell us more details of the case, or better, to read your friend and tell us.
