Your best friend had 2 baby boys back to back and then had more kids.Could this have caused her diabetes and hypothyroidism?

Her first 2 children, both boys, were just 56 weeks apart in age and planned that way. Then she had 5 more children after that, all close together in age with gaps ranging from 57 weeks apart to 22 months apart. She stopped having kids when she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

    Developing gestational diabetes while pregnant can increase the risks for developing type 2 diabetes at some point later in life.  Other than that issue, pregnancy is not a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.  Time between pregnancies does not matter.

    What have her doctors told her?

    If she does not choose to share that information with you, then you are not really entitled to know.

    'Best frends' do not gossip behind their friends back. Nor do they make judgements about their life choices.
