[QUOTE="Giles Cuthbert, post: 2671343, member: 584105"] Hi I am Giles, I am married to Karen and we have two boys, each with type one. Harvey our eldest was diagnosed at the age of 13, he is now 19. Our youngest Theo was diagnosed on his 12th Birthday, he will be 16 next month. We were incredibly unlucky with one child but two! What are the chances? Apparently the odds drop from very, very high to about 10 to 1 if a sibling is diagnosed. It had been tough and it doesn’t get easier as Harvey nearly 20 and he wants to be as normal as possible but it’s not possible, do there are arguments with regards to his diet and drinking! Our worry is that Theo will soon be hitting this age! We will keep fighting and doing what we can for them, in the hope that a cure will be found to give them a near normal life away from injections I try and help when I can and have run marathons etc to help raise much needed funds for such a worthy charity. Pleased to be part of the community, thank you Giles [/QUOTE]
