@MegaPooh123456 Hello. You can still have an active sex life when you're older and there is no reason at all that you can't have children. If you have children, the chances of them getting diabetes are the same as any child being diagnosed, so they are at no greater risk at all. Hope this helps :)

An excellent video. I learned a lot. I am trying to learn more about the cause of diabetes though. I was diagnosed with type 2, when I was 40. (2 years ago) I was not overweight, dont drink, dont smoke, blood pressure was always good, go on long walks everyday.... I often wonder if there could be an underlining reason to my diabetes that I should be on the look out for?

@shellallen1 Glad you liked the video. You mention some of the lifestyle issues that can, in some cases, mean that people are are at a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. But in many cases we don't know why people develop the condition unfortunately. Do email our Careline though if you've got any more specific questions as they'll be able to help: careline@diabetes.org.uk :)

@StoryboardOptics The South Asian community are 6 times more at risk than the white community of developing diabetes and the Black African and Caribbean community are at risk 3 times more.

These communities are more at risk of developing diabetes simply because of their ethnicity make-up. Unfortunately, this is something that they cannot change. However the changes they are able to make is the same for people in the white community which is their lifestyle and choices.

Hope this is helpful.

@MegaPooh123456 First Vita Plus Natural Health Drink would be a great help....

@MegaPooh123456 They are wrong. You can have kids, but they will be predisposed to diabetes. That means when you are raising them, teach them the right things to eat, teach them to be healthy, and show them how much fun exercise and taking care of their bodies can be.
