Genetic Diabetes


Recommended Posts

There is a type of diabetes that even some doctors may not be aware of .http://www.diabetesgenes.org/content/maturity-onset-diabetes-young  It's called MODY diabetes, meaning Mature Onset Diabetes of the Young.  It is genetic and I have been told one of the possible symptoms is having a lean athletic build.  People often associate diabetes with obesity, and I would bet that is why it often is not diagnosed until complications arise.
