Is type 2 diabetes genetic?

Surprising as it may seem, genetics is not really a big factor. Sure, if you have a family history of diabetes, you do probably carry the gene for diabetes. But that is by no means a guarantee that you will get it.

Wondering if diabetes is genetic or not?

This is especially true for Type 2 diabetes. The predisposition to the disease is surely inherited, but it is something in your environment that actually triggers it. For proof, we can look at identical twins. They have identical genes. Yet if one twin gets type 2 diabetes, the other twin's risk is three in four at most.

Beyond genetics

In addition to genetics, the race is also thought to be a risk factor in developing TYPE 2 DIABETES; Asians have been seen to be more at risk. But in the end, it is the diet you eat and your physical activity levels that will determine your risk of contracting TYPE 2 DIABETES, as well as managing or reversing it.

Are you aware of genetic diabetes symptoms?

One needs to be aware and keep a watch on the below symptoms
 

· Frequent need to visit the washroom.

· Increase in appetite

· Fatigue

· Lack of clarity in vision

· Repeated infections

· Slow healing wounds

Whether or not is type 2 diabetes genetic, can it be reversed?

The good news is that type 2 diabetes can be reversed but reversing the lifestyle choices that brought it on in the first place. That means cleaning up your diet, losing weight, and making exercise a lifestyle. FFD’s diabetes reversal programs have seen massive success, with more than 12,000 documented cases of complete reversals.
