Hi,
I've been chatting to other people and, having been diagnosed with T1 this year, I have heard contradicting thoughts on the relevance of diabetes in the family and how generation links work. What generation are you?
When diagnosed I was asked if there was history in the family and the last person to have it was my great grandfather. The specialist explained that this link was probably too weak to be of relevance yet another family friend has suggested that their great grandparent was the last generation to have T1 in their family too.
This is simply out of interest. I know this forum is of great value for probs and queries and this is not hugely important, just curiosity so appreciate anyone who has the time to answer.
Cheers for now
Dave
