Diabetes is in part hereditary, but there are other factors too. If you stay active and don't let yourself eat bad, you should be ok.

Especially if you have gestational diabetes though, your child has a higher chance of developing it later in life.

Well all I know is that if my sugar level goes up by 0.1, I have it. And that was like sept 2nd when she told me that, so I dont kno about now.

And I also kno I had a uterine infection but the doctor gave me some medicine and its gone, if she didnt give me it my baby could've been born w/ a kidney probleem. Blahh.
