Blame the Food! Blame Yourself!

By God's grace I'm not diabetic, bad food like too much sugar, being obese or over weight, lack of exercise and genes are factors that tend to predispose the disease or condition.

I do have some signs but I am afraid to check. I always drink soda everyday. I try to refrain from doing so now.

I am not and I think that it is a matter of poor diet and excessive weight in many cases.

It's either diabetic or have a kidney stone. Changing the diet is the primary answer on to this :)

No, I am not diabetic but it seems that there is a lot of people who are diabetics type 2.

I discovered I am type 2 diabetic. I had a very big belly and I had constant headaches. Now that I lose weight, and I do not eat rice anymore but more protein, I feel my illness is also going away

I like that! Just recently, a friend told me many people around him are diabetic, so he has to started to watch his diet. He told me his cousin who is only 21 years old and is a footballer, just found out to have very serious diabetes. I thought when someone exercises a lot, he'd be fine. I am not a diabetic, but both my late paternal grandparents were. So, since I was young, I always told myself to take care of my health, I don't want to be inherited to be a diabetic. Around me, I guess more people have high cholesterol, but not so many of them have diabetes.

My dad is diabetic and he got it because he got addicted to tang. He thought it is an all natural juice that is good for the health.

sometimes those who get thyroid also have the diabetes and that diabetes is not related to weight or food or anyting. it just comes.

My sister is, I am not. It is a really bad condition that seems to get worse. Yes, food can be a problem and it is hard to have restraint over it when feeling so poorly.

I'm not a diabetic but my brother is. It runs in our family. My Mom was a diabetic as well as her mother (my grandmother).

No, even my parents are not. But I am constantly reminded by my parents to have precaution because I am healthy (chubby) and we have history of diabetes. My grandfather on my fatherside had diabetes.

I'm not diabetic but I'm hypoglycemic. My sugar drops very easily and I always need to be careful about what I eat and how frequently I eat.

No, I'm not neither are my parents/siblings.

My father is . That's why , i don't eat much rice , sometimes i eat sweet potato in its stead . And it's a good thing , i am not much into sweet foods . Can't take it without a salty foods to combat the sweetness . Indeed , we are to blame , not the foods for the ailments they give us , when we overeat them .

I know you folks are just laughing out to put positive on the side of this problem. but it's a serious problem, that's one of the reasons I'm eating mostly veggies now. More importantly, it's the reason why I'm taking moringa leaves now in the form of shake. But I do agree, blame it on the food.

Agree! We should check our lifestyle and habits. We are what we eat.

Fortunately, I do not have one and my family does not have history. my husband and his family does have history. Though I love sweets, I make it a point that I do not eat rice if I like to eat cakes. I compromise my eating habit because I want to take care of my health also. They are right, blame he person who eat the food and not the food! that is also the reason I walk everyday so I can eat want I want but of course always in moderation

Poor food. Now it's their fault. lol

No, but it is in the family.
