[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 1170497, member: 166283"] Well the only members of my family that I ever knew apart from my parents were two grandmothers, one great aunt, one aunt and a cousin...grandfathers died before I was born.. none of them had diabetes as to the rest of the family that I never knew I can't speak for them. I was diagnosed T2 after my yearly blood test last year. My own son who had never been overweight about 10 years ago suddenly lost a lot of weight and he drinking loads of fluid and had really bad fatigue and he was diagnosed in his forties as a late onset T1. He was on insulin but never felt quite right and his BG fluctuated a lot from high to very low and the doctor kept changing the dosage. A couple of years ago he moved house so he saw a new GP and consultant who because of the problems he was having did not think he was actually T1 so it was was changed to T2/Lada they couldn't really decide what but he was taken off insulin and is now just on tablets has a lower carb diet..no potatoes rice pasta pastry not to much bread he eats lots of salad meat vegetables and fruit and his BG levels are good and he said he has never felt better..He was told by the consultant that his two children now in their twenties were at low risk of developing diabetes but time will tell I suppose.
