My mum has it and my mums brother (my uncle) My two brothers don’t but they mainly take after my dads side of the family. I take after my mums in character and appearance (if this means anything) My mum was diagnosed when she was 20 odd and my uncle when he was 30 odd both were fairly old to get type 1 Diabetes. I’m 13, 14 soon. Is there a high chance i will get type 1 Diabetes? Thanks in advance. x

I was wondering how often i should get checked for diabetes because both my dad and my grandma have it. I know that i am at risk because it runs on my dads side of the family.
I also get dizzy when I stand up. And I am a teen that does do sports. I am not overweight.
When i do get dizzy i feel like i am about to faint and if i eat something it helps.
