My health is a constant worry. On both sides of my family, almost every person is diabetic, has heart problems, cancer, high blood pressure, and psych issues. I already had medical issues that I was born with and becoming diabetic is a huge concern of mine. There is already so little that I can eat that I don't know how I could even function as a diabetic also. I keep myself as healthy as I know how, but it seems my family carries a strong tendency toward so many genetic health problems that its ridiculous. Everyone of my grandparents, both of my parents, and several of my aunts, uncles, and cousins have had a range of heart problems and also hypertension. All of my grandparents, both my parents, and 3/4 aunts and uncles are diabetic. Those same people all have reoccurring malignant skin cancers. My aunt also had brain cancer. My dad had bile duct cancer. My aunt had cervical cancer.
I exercise regularly and eat as well as I can with my condition. I am not overweight which is a huge contributing factor to many of my families illnesses. But I also know my genetics including ethnicity and medical conditions leave me all too susceptible to weight gain. My blood pressure is all over the place, but on the low end... bordering too low at times. My iron is usually low even when I take a supplement. Etc... Etc... Etc... I was raised in hospitals and by hypochondriacs so I know too much for my own good. I should trust God more because I know He can overcome genetics, but sadly my eyes see the people around me in this broken world and I don't see the spiritual side of this.

I will lift you in prayer Jordache. I too worry about my family history. Heart problems, cancer, depression. I can't tell you how many times I've thought of suicide. But God has given me hope & yes I still get sad but it's not as severe as before. With Him nothing is impossible including health problems. Just keep in mind we won't have these bodies in Heaven. Praying for you.

Hugs Jordache, you know you are in my prayers for this and so much more. Praying for you in Jesus's name for all freedom from these concerns and for His peace to sustain you.

God bless :)
