Question
Can you have children if you have diabetes caused by obesity? Will it be passed on to the child?
Answer
Diabetes is not a genetic disease, although if there are diabetes patients in the family, the child’s risk of developing the disease is higher, but it is not necessarily inherited. It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and regular check-ups to detect and treat diabetes early. If diabetes has already been diagnosed, it is advisable to assess under a doctor’s guidance whether it is suitable to have children and how to minimize the impact on the child.
