Diabetes

[Asmodeous4]

I could be diabetic in later life, in fact it's incredibly likely. I have had a history of pancreatic problems and 2 operations on my pancreas, the whole of my mother's line has had something wrong with their pancreas in fact. My mum has genetic pancreatitis and gets the occasional attack, as does my sister, who has also had an operation, my Uncle is diabetic and my Gran died of pancreatic cancer...It doesn't look good for me on the diabetes front ;)

 

Avoid carbs, and don't eat sugar. Period.

 

Not looking so great for me either, until you start to examine the fact that diet has as much, if not more of an effect on people that genetics.

 

Actually genetics is a greater factor for me, I didn't develop pancreatitis through drinking too much as a 5 year old I think, it was nearly considered that my pancreas was removed anyway, so yeah. I'm alright for now, I just have to be careful as hell with what I eat.

I suppose that your doctor is advising a low-fat diet?

Hah, you bet. Fat is the thing that causes the pain basically. It's been subdued though for the past 2 years, since my second operation for it. I just have to be sensible. Although too much alcohol also triggers it.
