[QUOTE="neilalastair, post: 191069, member: 32310"] Hi, I am type 2 and in my 40s and had a Father with Dementia. He died last year at 74. He was considered as borderline diabetic, by his endo. He was under and Endo as he had MEN1, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, and a load of other stuff wrong with him. However he managed to have a fulfilling career in the RAF and then as a ex patriot abroad working in the airline industry. If he had managed to stay of the cigarettes and alcohol for more than 10 minutes he might not have ended up with Dementia, which is really what I am putting his dementia too. I did read of a 90 year old American woman with type1 who outlived all her "healthy" siblings one of whom did end up with dementia. Ultimately there is no way of knowing what is going to hit. I have just been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism but it looks as if I havent inherited MEN1 from my dad at least. [/QUOTE]
