 Diabetes
Hi Doc!
My father died of Type-I diabetes. My middle brother has Type-II/adult onset diabetes and he's pretty much standard weight for his height and in otherwise good shape.
My oldest brother is fairly heavy and doesn't have Type-I or Type-II. Also, my AME did a blood test back in the late 90's for 'precursors to type-II' but it turned up negative. I'm not a doctor so I'm not sure of the science behind the tests at all.
What can I do, if anything, to avoid coming down with a disqualifying condition? My blood pressure is normal, my weight is high for my height, but I'm getting it under control via exercise and diet.
