Well I'm African American , but my great-grandmother (my maternal grandfather's mother) was a full blooded Blackfoot Native American (but I mostly define myself as a Black Indian). Diabetes run in both my mom's and dad's families. My mom (who is 1/4 Blackfoot) has PCOS and Type 2 Diabetes (diagnosed in 2003/2004); her niece has PCOS as well. I hope and pray that I won't end up having diabetes, but it is a good chance that I will eventually.
