My sister has been hypoglycemic for as long as I can remember, my maternal grandfather was diabetic, my aunt had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with her kids, and my mom just found out that she has type 2 Diabetes. It is obvious that it runs in the family...could I be next? I am going to the doctor tomorrow to get tested just in case if I do have it...I honestly hope not, but with all of my symptoms I think I might...how do you change your lifestyle so that to deal with this. My mother found out a month ago and has really not changed much in her lifestyle like she was supposed to and refuses to do the finger prick everyday...I want to change my lifestyle if I do have it though and want to help her change hers..how do people do this?
