does type 1 diabetes skip a generation?
474207
Although you inherit diabetes, it skips a generation. You may have no relatives with diabetes or several. Also, diabetes doesn't skip a generation, nor are you more likely to get it from either your mother or father. Both your genes and your lifestyle contribute to your risk for diabetes.

Age. Although type 1 diabetes can appear at any age, it appears at two noticeable peaks. The first peak occurs in children between 4 and 7 years old, and the second is in children between 10 and 14 years old.

Quick facts about type 1 diabetes The number of new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes (also known as the incidence) is increasing by about four per cent each year. In children under five, the incidence of type 1 diabetes is rising by five per cent each year.

Approximately 400,000 people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, including around 29,000 children. The number of new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes (also known as the incidence) is increasing by about four per cent each year.

Without insulin, cells cannot absorb sugar (glucose), which they need to produce energy. Type 2 diabetes (formerly called adult-onset or non–insulin-dependent diabetes) can develop at any age. It most commonly becomes apparent during adulthood. But type 2 diabetes in children is rising.

If left untreated, diabetes type 1 can lead to severe complications. Type-1 diabetes was once thought to be irreversible and progressive after diagnosis, but evidences suggest it can be reversed by following an appropriate diet plan.

['Family history. Anyone with a parent or sibling with type 1 diabetes has a slightly increased risk of developing the condition.', 'Genetics. The presence of certain genes indicates an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes.', 'Geography. ... ', 'Age.']

Once a person has type 1 diabetes, it does not go away and requires lifelong treatment. Kids and teens with type 1 diabetes depend on daily insulin injections or an insulin pump to control their blood glucose levels.

Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age. Adults may develop a specific form of type 1 diabetes known as LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood).

Type 1 diabetes can't be prevented. Doctors can't even tell who will get it and who won't. No one knows for sure what causes type 1 diabetes, but scientists think it has something to do with genes. But just getting the genes for diabetes isn't usually enough.

In people with type 1 diabetes, whose high blood sugar problems are usually diagnosed very early, about 20% have peripheral neuropathy after 20 years. Your risk may also rise with age, but even children and young adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes have signs of peripheral neuropathy.

These factors ultimately decide whether the condition will be dominant or recessive in a child. In the dominant condition, the child is more likely to get type 1 diabetes due to a higher combination of defective genes received.

Very rarely, babies are born with diabetes. This is called neonatal diabetes and is caused by a problem with the genes. Neonatal diabetes can disappear by the time the child is 12 months of age, but the diabetes usually returns later in life. In Australia, about 400 children under 5 have type 1 diabetes.

Earlier this year we reported on Daniel Darkes, a man with type 1 diabetes who has been told a “rare gene” means he's been able to come off insulin. It's an incredible story, and it caught the eye of Johan Kotze. Johan has been completely off insulin for over a month, his blood sugars are normal and he feels great.

Type 1 diabetes occurs in 10 to 20 per 100,000 people per year in the United States. By age 18, approximately 1 in 300 people in the United States develop type 1 diabetes.

In the United States, Caucasians seem to be more susceptible to type 1 than African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans. Chinese people have a lower risk of developing type 1, as do people in South America. Geography: It seems that people who live in northern climates are at a higher risk for developing type 1 diabetes.
