FEAR OF DIABETIC MOM

Hello,

I come to me to contemplate experiences on this subject.

Is any diabetics and your children have ended with diabetes?

It is that it is a deep fear because I have my 5 -year -old boy, and I do not stop getting up every time I drink more than the account, or it is more irascible, or loses weight, or has more pee.

I would love to tell me.

Thank you!!

@Crisdiabetika28 quiet woman, it is normal, I suppose, that in the debut, one can be related to these things ... I have 2 children of 6 and 9 years;I debuted 1 year ago (with 45) and I just hope that my children have not inherited this condition of me (I am the first in my family), but I will not advance anything by whipping myself, enough we carry already ... I onlyThere is the desire that in this sense goes to their father ... encouragement and erase that from your head!A fat hug

Hi @crisdiabetika28.I am in a situation similar to yours, I have a daughter that this week turns 6.What your accounts happened to me when I was a baby, and I did a glucose test on more than one occasion.At the third or fourth time I planted myself and convinced myself that I couldn't live with that fear.As you have told you, if it has to be, it will be, but as long as it is, to enjoy.All the best.

Type 1 diabetes is not inherited, it is of autoimmune origin.In my family there are none of the types of diabetes and here I am that I debuted with 42 years.

Well, the disease is not inherited, but the genetic predisposition to suffer from it.My parents were not diabetic type I, and I did.But it is clear that one or the other inherited the predisposition.

No @carussa, at all.The predisposition is not genetic, the environment gives.
Immunological failures come from mutations from our body in response to the environment.
If all the brothers were inherited in the same environment, they would be diabetic.
I explain it very well a medical specialist in allergology for chronic autoimmune rhinitis, I have developed it and my brothers are in the city with a quieter life and neither diabetes nor rhinitis or anything.I started because of a serious personal problem,

@Ruthbia what I understand is that the genetic predisposition is inherited.Then, the 'trigger' of the disease (the one that causes the immune failure) can be something environmental, a virus, etc.That is the unknown factor.That is, you can have genetic predisposition and never develop the disease.That some do develop it is today still an unknown.

But some genetic component in the development of this disease has to be?

It does not have to;In my family there are no diabetics of any kind, not even a bit of high blood glucose in any of the branches (of father or mother).
In my boy's are type 2 diabetics with exhausted pancreas, great -grandfather, grandfather, father and brother, all at age 40, one unique by generation, the rest of the brothers of each generation none, all in the same environment.
My boy is not diabetic.Of 4 brothers, only one.
It is not really known, they told me that, but if they knew they would test us at birth like others that make us.

In my case we are my only brother and I, with 5 years apart in the diagnosis, without family history, so I have always thought that, in addition to other factors, there was a genetic load, but as you say, anyone knows.

I think there is a genetic component and then a trigger, that in my daughter's case was a harmless virus in other children.
Genetics is very complicated, so that there is a disease, there has to be very specific combinations of genes, which often do not occur, new mutations may even appear.
As it depends on so many factors, you have to think about positive and that everything is going well.
Anyway, children who start now will have a very different future.

Genetic studies have been carried out for diabetes (this was the easiest for geneticists and biologists) and they find no common gene among diabetics.That is why they cannot say that it is in the genetics of each one, they tell you of the predisposition to develop x diseases throughout your life, but never mention that it is genetic because they have not the common factor.

It seems that there are genes related to type 1 diabetes:

@"Emily Seville", pfff, what remains to study there, for now the type1 is polygenic and with multiple combinations.
It has caught my attention that there are protective genes against complications.

Yes there is some predisposition.I know a family in which the mother has DM type 1 from 35 and has three daughters, 45.40 and 36, and the three have type 1 DM too.And there are more cases, although not as extensive as this, but this is like everything, there may be predisposition, but many more factors influence.

@meginer I had always understood that genetic diseases apart from transmitting between family members, the altered gene is common among all specimens with the same disease.
In my case with the V Leiden, they not only have my ancestors but also strangers to my family from all over the world who have this disease.
That is what they do not find in diabetes that common gene among all DM1, then the predisposition is something else.

That a common gene has not been discovered at the moment, it does not mean that there can be, some predisposition can be but obviously it is not certain that a mother with DB will be her diabetic son, it depends on many things, evenof food.But you cannot be overwhelmed with that, because we can all have a predisposition or more likely to have this or that thing, if Columbus, Mama etc, everything is statistics and probabilities, so without overwhelms, you have to live and that's it.If any symptoms are ever attracted because it is investigated, one cannot worry about what may or may not happen in the future, for knowing ... so many things can happen ... (I tell the mother of thisboy)

I think that I can die of a traffic accident before diabetes.
But it would be good that they gave the origin, even if there is no cure.
