Dear Usman, Thank you for sending your question to AskNSDL. AskNSDL's policy is to not offer opinions on medical topics (see "About AskNSDL",http://asknsdl.askvrd.org/services/asknsdl/AskNSDL_policies.asp); however, I can suggest several resources that provide authoritative information on this topic. MedlinePlus,http://medlineplus.gov/, the U.S. National Library of Medicine's consulmer health information website, indexes material on many health topics. Click on the link for "Health Topics," choose the letter, "D," and then scroll down the page to "Diabetes."http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/diabetes.html The articles listed under "Prevention and Screening" may be helpful to you. "Am I at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes?" from the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse. http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/riskfortype2/index.htm#food "Your Game Plan for Preventing Type II Diabetes," National Diabetes Education Program. http://ndep.nih.gov/diabetes/pubs/GP_Booklet.pdf Another article, "Dealing with Diabetes," by Steven Dowshen, MD, December 2003, appears on the Teens Health section of the Nemours Foundation website. Dr. Dowshen discusses who gets diabetes and what factors place people at a higher risk of getting diabetes. http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/diseases_conditions/growth/diabetes.html There are many other good health resources listed in the Health category of this website. From the homepage,http://asknsdl.askvrd.org, click on Health and browse the websites listed. Please be sure to contact your health care provider to discuss your concerns and obtain specific advice for your own situation. THe librarian at your school and/or public library may also be able to direct you to further resources that they have available in print or electronically. Sincerely, Joyce W. AskNSDL
