World Diabetes Day is being celebrated across the world today. On this day, awareness is spread about diabetes and ways to avoid it are made available to the people. There are many types of questions in the minds of people regarding diabetes. In colloquial language, we know diabetes as sugar. There is often a question in the minds of people that if any person or parent in the family has diabetes, then how much risk is there to the child. According to health experts and research, if one of the parents has type 2 diabetes, then the risk of developing this disease in the child increases up to 4 times. At the same time, if both parents have type 2 diabetes, then the risk of developing sugar disease in the child increases by 50%. The reason for this is the genes inherited from the parents.
Genetic is type 1 diabetes
There are two types of diabetes, first type one and second type two diabetes. Type one diabetes is mostly due to genetics. That is, if parents, grandparents have had sugar problems in the past, then the risk of type one diabetes in the child also increases. The problem of type one diabetes can be seen in the child even from birth. This is because due to genetic reasons, insulin production stops in the pancreas.
