Which type of diabetes is genetic?
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and was also known as adult onset diabetes earlier because it was found in adults.Now the name has been dropped as more and more young people, teenagers and even children are being diagnosed of type 2 diabetes.I have a degree in BTech biotechnology and understand genetics fairy well. After a lot of research on existing scientific knowledge I concluded that diabetes is not genetic or hereditary and is majorly a lifestyle disease caused by diet and lifestyle a person follows. My study also led me to the calling of my life and I started helping people reverse their condition. I completed my masters in nutrition and am a practising nutritionist now.It is amazing to see the change in people's lives. People who are diabetic start becoming healthy and have normal blood sugar levels without any medication. People who need insulin shots thrice a day are able to get rid of insulin completely in just a few weeks time. They do not get into any complications of diabetes.Certain very large scale epidemiological research shows that people get diabetes according to rates prevalent to the place they have migrated to rather than the place they originally belonged to. One such study was performed on Japanese men living in America.Some of the places where people are known to be healthy and live long (100+ years on an average) are now struggling with lifestyle diseases like diabetes, CVD, Cancers etc. Clearly it is not genetic.You can also view one of my latest blogs on diabetes here:A war that was lost without fighting.

Should I stop being a vegetarian?
I've been a vegetarian two years ago for 6 months and quit. Now I've been a vegetarian since New Year's. But my body and hands are shaking and I have diabetes running in my family, and my therapist told me that having high blood sugar (I eat a lot of sugar) and being a vegetarian is very unhealthy and could cause diabetes. Perhaps the answer to that part is to eat less sugar. But he also said that we evolved to eat meat and that I should. But I like to be a vegetarian because awful things happen to animals in slaughterhouses. And getting protein without meat is becoming very difficult. I was told that a piece of meat about half the size of a remote-control has about as much protein as half-a-gallon of milk and I would require A LOT of beans to get the protein I actually need. What do you think?
