In a clip for Friday's episode of Mama June: Road to Redemption, Honey Boo Boo- whose real name is Alana Thompson- called June, 41, to complain about her other family members "worrying about me having diabetes."
Alana was recently informed that her father Sugar Bear has diabetes, while he expressed his concern that she might also have the disease.
June replied: "You need to worry about it because your father has it, Nana had it. The whole side of the family on Nana's side has it."
Alana angrily responded: "I get that, but I don't have it."
The Mama June: From Not to Hot star argued that Alana doesn't know if she has diabetes since she hasn't visited a doctor to be tested.

The teen said in a confessional: "I know I should probably eat a little bit better. I don't have to go to a doctor and step on a scale for him to tell me that. I already know that."
The scene cut back to Alana's phone call with June, in which the teen said she felt like everyone in her family was "blowing this whole diabetes thing out of proportion."
After June explained to Alana that she ignored her health concerns with her eyes and now she's partially blind, the mother said in a confessional: "I spent most of my life anyway I want, do what I want to."
She then listed a number of her health problems before continuing: "It's one health problem after another and I don't want Alana at the age of 40 to realize, 'Hey, I got all these problems."'
June then told her youngest daughter: "It doesn't hurt to have a doctor draw your blood and run tests. It's really easy."

Alana appeared disappointed as she admitted she thought June "would be on my side about this," though the mother said: "Just go get the damn test done. If you don't have it, then you don't have to worry about it."
The clip concluded with Alana admitting in a confessional interview, stating: "I never liked doctors, but it seems like ever since Mama's had all them surgeries and I guess that kind of why I'm scared of doctors."
The latest season of Mama June: Road to Redemption has featured June trying to reconnect with her daughters following her arrest and time spent in rehab.
Alana currently lives with her older sister Pumpkin, 21, in Georgia, while June is focusing on her sobriety in Florida.
Back in March 2019, June was arrested on drug possession charges, including possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia charges in Alabama.

She was arrested with her boyfriend Geno Doak, who was charged with third-degree domestic violence, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
It was revealed on Thursday that June has avoided prison time, as the reality star has agreed to a list of provisions, including random drug screens and random searches of her car, home and possessions, The Trussville Tribune reported.
She cannot use alcohol or drugs or visit places where they are used and sold, such as restaurants or bars.
June must also remain employed, go to counseling, complete 100 hours of community service and be under court supervision for a year.
If June complies with the provisions, all charges against her will be dismissed.
