If You Are The First Born
How can birth order increase or decrease your chances of developing diabetes? The role of the firstborn is difficult. Parents have no idea how to parent until the firstborn enters their lives so they are like guinea pigs and can easily pick up on stress. And then the parents are automatically harder on the firstborn when the younger ones enter. Therefore, the firstborn is stressed and goes through a lot of struggles. They also have issues with absorbing sugar properly. This is why the firstborn is more likely to end up with diabetes than their younger siblings. But don’t worry, if you are the firstborn and you are doing what you can to take care of your health, you still may escape it. The chances just are higher.
Now you see how other things can increase your chances of developing diabetes other than poor eating habits and exercise. This is why it is very important to watch your health overall and lifestyle as well.
