Patient's question:
My husband has diabetes caused by obesity. Can he have children? Will it be passed on to his child? He is 36 years old and was diagnosed in September 2009. He loves drinking water. The hospital he visited is Shanghai.Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetes is not a genetic disease. If there is a history of diabetes in the family, the child has a higher risk of developing it, but it is not guaranteed that they will develop it!Suggestions: You can feel at ease about having a child. As long as the child maintains a regular lifestyle and exercises, the likelihood of developing the disease will be very low.
There are many triggers for childhood diabetes. If the child is diagnosed with childhood diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, follow dietary restrictions, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
