There are three generations in my family that have Type 2 Diabetes, some of whom already have the disease and others that have increased risk. They are scattered across the U.S, (from California to Delaware) so I don't know what method is being used to monitor. Both my late Mother and sister both had increased risk but like myself managed to avoid the disease mostly with diet and generally good eating habits and avoided drinking alcohol.

@ladybugmg Does alcohol increase the risk? I can't drink now of course since having had a liver transplant but I had no idea that it increased the risk. When I was first diagnosed having diabetes I did drink moderately -- generally a glass of wine with dinner.
