Found out this morning that mum has been found to have Type 2 diabetes following a fasting blood test. She has to go to the hospital for consultation next week and I will go with her (hospital letter states it's important to have someone to go with her).
Apparently mum's mum, mum's aunt and her daughter have it/have had it so am just wondering how much I am at risk of getting it and my own children.
I will ask these qustions next week when we see the doctor but just wondered if anyone has been through this.
TIA
