Patient's question:
My mother has had diabetes for many years, and it is a stubborn type of diabetes. My sister and I also have diabetes. I wonder if it is inherited over generations. I feel sad because my son also has diabetes.Does diabetes have an intergenerational inheritance?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: Diabetes is not an inherited disease, but it does have a family history. Diabetes is directly related to genetic genes, but it does not mean that diabetic patients will definitely pass this disease down to the next generation. However, the next generation of diabetic patients has a much higher chance of getting diabetes than ordinary people. It may also be related to lifestyle, dietary habits, etc.
