[QUOTE="Smallbrit, post: 1655417, member: 456748"] Thanks for posting this/bringing this post back up. I’d never heard of MIDD but symptoms seem strikingly similar. My mum and her sister were both diagnosed as going deaf and with type 1 diabetes in their early 30s. I started going deaf in my 20s and am now severely deaf at age 40. I had GD at age 30 but there was never any follow up (US health care system). Moved back to the UK three years ago and was promptly diagnosed as prediabetic when I signed up and had blood taken at my GP. Was recently diagnosed as type 2 as HBAC1 went haywire this year but GP is considering it might be type 1. He never mentioned MIDD, just said something about family history and then said at my next test in February he’d order additional tests. He did say the name of it but I promptly forgot. My mum and her sister passed away decades ago so I can’t ask them about family history. My mum had a diabetic related stroke, so diabetes looms large for me - she was very, very thin and frail for as long as I can remember. She was Chinese-Guyanese so all her family are short and slim by default, although as I’m half English I’ve always been much stockier than them and blamed genetics for giving me her height and my dad’s build. I guess I could still count as thin, though. [/QUOTE]
