Sorry, but I couldn’t tell you what chromosome it’s on.

Main things Im looking for are:

Cause
Treatment
Lifestyle changes

Stuff like that..
Thanks =]

Cause:
-type 1 is usually autoimmune (body attacks insulin producing cells)
-type 2 is usually insulin resistance that the body can’t keep up with. That is, the body needs more and more insulin to fulfill normal insulin requirements. Not all with insulin resistance develop diabetes. Insulin resistance is usually due in part to excess weight and poor diet. Genetics play a role, but not in a clear "1 gene causes this" type of way. It’s likely the interations of many, many genes and environment.

treatment:
-type 1s need insulin, although it can be injected or with a pump
-type 2s vary. Ranges from diet and exercise alone (fairly rare) to various meds to insulin.

lifestyle changes:
-for both, diet is really important.
-type 1s have to pay really close attention to diet since how much insulin is given depends upon food intake. On the other hand, type 1s can adjust insulin depending upon food so it’s easier to "cheat" by just giving extra insulin. Requires a lot of planning–testing blood sugar frequently, snacking depending upon when insulin was given, blood sugars, etc. Exercise is important, but has to be planned for to avoid/minimize low blood sugars.
-type 2s: since most are overweight, diet and exercise are very important. Weight loss should be a goal and can even help to slow down the disease process.

Check on the American Diabetes Association website for more information.

The cause of Diabetes is not yet known, but studies have shown certain genes to be associated with an increased risk for Diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes is characterized by a loss of 90% or more of the insulin (a hormone necessary for the uptake of glucose from blood) producing cells of the pancreas so that very little, if any, insulin is present in the body. In Type 2 Diabetes, on the other hand, insulin is present often in normal or even greater than normal levels. The issue for those with Type 2 Diabetes is insulin resistance. This resistance means that the insulin present is not very effective, thus more of it is needed, and the body is unable to meet that increased demand for the hormone (insulin).

The risk of gestational diabetes causing serious problems in the fetus is low, and most babies do well unless the disease is not controlled. The most important thing you can do to minimize the risk to your fetus once your gestational diabetes is diagnosed is to keep your blood sugar level as low as possible. When problems do occur, the most common are high birth weight, difficult delivery and a higher risk of delivery by cesarean section.

should i get it checked up or am i being paranoid?

Yes, sir. It’s absolutely possible. I didn’t find out until I was 21 … just after I’d left the British Army … and I know there are people older than your age when they were discovered to have it.

You say you have a family history of Type 1 Diabetes. Ask one of your relatives to test your blood sugar level for you. This will give a clear indication of whether you need to see a doctor or not. (It is ONLY a practising medical doctor that can legally diagnose you as diabetic, but you’ll need this to obtain prescriptions for medications … insulin, obviously, plus anything else your doctor may determine would be beneficial to your overall health and welfare.)

Believe me, sir, if you are a type 1 diabetic you’ll know about within a very short space of time as you’ll be feeling really ill or, at least, you’ll notice how severe the symptoms can become. You WILL need treatment with insulin if you’re a type 1, and the sooner that begins the better. There are numerous complications that can arise from having uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, some of which are a real pain in the butt, some quite embarrassing, and some that can prove lethal.

Be well, young sir … and forget the being "paranoid". We’re talking your long-term health here. Go get checked out.

PS - I am not diabetic and did not have gestational diabetes either. My son was born full term and of healthy weight and size.

There is a predisposition to Type 2 Diabetes, but there also a life style component. You have many good answers on here. You also might want to check out the American Diabetes Asso. website. There is much good information on there. There are other websites as well. Of course, you will also want to ask your child’s pediatrician what you can do to limit the risks. Your concern and education will help give them a healthy future. Take care.
