Message: <blockquote data-quote="jopar" data-source="post: 278491" data-attributes="member: 11712">Well I'm pretty much the odd bod of a large family, I was diagnosed 23 years ago the first and still the only one of either T1 or T2, my twin hasn't developed it (we are the youngest of the family) going backwards our family has been traced back to 1027, and no indicators that could suggest diabetes...  Going forward well I am now a great-great aunty and no signs of diabetes...Now my husband is a different matter, as he was diagnosed T1 33 years ago, at the time he was thought the only one as no-one could remembered another diabetic..  It was thought like me he was a fluke, as his son hasn't got diabetes, but 5 years ago his uncle was diagnosed as T2 and a couple years ago his uncle son was diagnosed as T1 in his 30's!When I was first diagnosed they used to say with T1 that it jumped a generation so it was likely to appear in my grand-children rather than my children...  Yet to find that out</blockquote>
