[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1843575, member: 245335"] Not exactly, the fact that my father had type II, his sister was type I (born in the 1920s), I also had an uncle on my mother's side as well as a cousin, both type II, meant that I accepted my diagnosis with great ease. It was in the family? Maybe? It is true to say that the fact that my dear old aunt became blind, my father had lots of problems with glaucoma and now has macular degeneration has guaranteed that I will try my hardest to do what I can to control my BG. Something my father still doesn't do really, only now he just says "I'm 91, why shouldn't I eat bars of Cadburys Fruit and Nut (the big ones) and drink wine". He also had a toe amputated which he puts down to diabetes, forgetting his refusal to see a GP in the first place and he's now in hospital with a UTI . . . because he wouldn't go to the GP as soon as he had symptoms. At least his bad behavior is showing me a road that I do not want to follow. [/QUOTE]
