Definitely not! You need to take good care of your feet. My husband has been diabetic for over thirty years and his only foot problem is a lost toenail (because he dropped a dresser drawer on it. It never healed properly, possibly--but not definitely--because of his diabetes.) Diabetics who have diabetic neuropathy might not notice a foot injury because they don't feel their extremities. Not noticing problems can lead to problems getting worse. If you have a partner, have that person look at your feet for any signs of injury. It's sometimes hard to see parts of your own feet.

Foods that are diabetes friendly are low glycemic, low in sugar and carbs, high fiber, and low fat. Any lean protein would be an example as well as healthy cereals and produce.

Type I diabetes, the kind that usually happens in youger people, is caused by a person's own antibodies attacking the pancreas and making it not able to produce insulin.

What type of diabetes is this? If it is type 2, then a well balanced diet (from that food pyramid). The diet of a type 2 diabetic is the same as a good idea for any healthy person. If it is type I <INSERT ANSWER HERE>.

Both the main types of diabetes have a heredity component. In type 2 obesity is also a major factor. Its a bigger factor than heredity. In type 1 bad luck is a major facotor, it actually has less of hereditary link than type 2.

Yes, you can. There is a higher chance for you to get Type 1 diabetes wherein it is (mostly) genetically transmitted by your parents to their offspring. Your father may have it too, he just doesn't know it yet. Better have him check earlier, just to be safe.

The hemoglobin a1c gives an estimate of how the sugar has been running for the last three months and is often used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. It is normally between 4 and 6 with levels above 6.5 being considered diagnostic of diabetes. The goal of diabetes treatment is usually to keep it below 7.0.

So an a1c of 6.6 is higher than normal and diagnostic of diabetes but is considered to reflect well controlled diabetes.

Yes, your vision will change with your sugar levels. If you have very low blood sugar, you might start to see changes in your vision, like blurriness, and other things. However, vision change isn't associated with high blood sugar, but vision may or may not change, since everyone is different. If you have normal blood sugar levels, then you will see what your eyesight normally is. In the long term the higher blood sugar levels associated with untreated diabetes can damage the blood vessels (swelling and leaking) at the back of the eye causing diabetic retinopathy which will impact your vision eventually leading to blindness
