Can you donate a kidney if you have a family history of diabetes?

My dad has diabetes and left it uncontrolled for most of his life. He how has kidney failure. Since his mom has diabetes, it seems as though I’ll probably get it at some point in my life. I am very active, eat well, drink in moderation. If I am a blood and tissue match for my dad, would I even be allowed to donate since I may end up with the same problems later in life?

What can keep type 2 diabetes from coming back?

tcb asked:


My mom has type 2 diabetes and the doctor said it was resolved after she lost over 100lbs but now she broke her ankle. She can’t really move for 6 to 8 weeks and we live on the second floor in a studio. Is there anything we can do to make sure her diabetes doesn’t come back?
