Father has it, his sister has it, his younger brother did too before he passed away from a tumor a few years ago. My fathers first cousin has it too. That's the cases I know of.In my siblings my sister and I have it, but I heard today my brother might too? I know that my paternal great grandfather was blind, whether he was born that way or developed it, I don't know, but I think odds are he developed it later in life - this seems to suggest diabetes to me. My paternal grandfather never had blood glucose issues until shortly before he passed away in his 90s. I'll put that down to old age though. On my mum's side no one I am aware of has it.  I'm just wondering if we have weak pancreases in the family? I know a lot of drinking goes on but then how would that explain my aunty who doesn't drink?</blockquote>
