Patient's question:
My brother recently discovered that he has diabetes. The last time I saw him, I noticed that he had lost a lot of weight and looked very unhealthy. He used to be very thin, but after getting the disease, he's now just skin and bones. I'm a bit worried that I might get this disease in the future. I want to know what I can do to prevent diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your brother was recently diagnosed with diabetes. You are concerned that you might also develop this disease in the future. Considering your situation, having a history of diabetes in your family on the generational level increases your chances of getting diabetes compared to others. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay more attention to your daily life and avoid foods with high sugar content in your stool as well as carbonated drinks. You can monitor your blood sugar levels periodically.
