| is lupus or diabetes more serious?
my dad was diagnosed with diabetes last september and was really upset about it. diabetes runs in both sides of my family. everyone on my dad's side (except my aunt) that is around my dad's age or is older has diabetes. some ppl on my mom's side has diabetes.
now my mom, who is an RN, was diagnosed with lupus yesterday and is crying right now.
im really scared right now because both of my parents have some type of disease. i feel like ill lose them both. i don't want to ask my mom who is really educated about lupus bc i don't want to make her more upset, but does lupus affect life expectancy?
and i know that i may be diagnosed with diabetes when i get older since it is so common in my family. but is lupus a genetic disease too?
