It's not easy.

I was told that it all started when he crouched down to tie his shoe, he passed out and got into a shock. I knew he had that disease, but didn't in a million years think it could kill him this young. My dad has diabetes as well. He's 57. I think my bro wasn't taking his medicines or something. I don't know.

The hardest part was watching his youngest 10 yr old son cry when he found out that he died. It almost tore me apart.

How do you get diabetes?

Being overweight is a common condition of most diabetic people. The common assumption is that a lifestyle of eating unhealthy foods and not taking regular or adequate exercise could contribute to causing this disease.

It is also believed that hereditary genes may predispose a person to acquire Type 2 diabetes but most advice on avoiding this condition is to lose weight, eat healthily and do more exercise.

Gestational diabetes is acquired during pregnancy and is a consequence of hormonal changes in the body during the pregnancy and, again, hereditary genes. Gestational diabetes generally stops after childbirth.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common of the 3 types of diabetes. It is estimated that 90% of diabetics suffer from this form of the ailment. It also seems that there is more data on how to avoid and prevent this condition than any of the others. Exercising more regularly and eating a healthy, balanced diet can significantly reduce the chances of contracting the disease. If you already have it, exercise and healthy eating can make it less intrusive to your lifestyle.

Keep your head up. Sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear man. Keep your chin up and stay strong.
