Hi Neckarski, whilst on one level I can see we all have a common theme in any conditions we live with - that being they all impact us, but much more than that, with your conditions, I'm not seeing any glaring link.Being born prematurely, one testical being smaller than the other. (probably undeveloped due to being prem) Asthmatic as a child (no longer suffer with) Scoliosis, Kyphosis.
Some of the above I believe are contributing factors as to why I have developed T1 Diabetes! But that is just my opinion!
Oh I forget to mention lazy eye as a child too!Being born prematurely, one testical being smaller than the other. (probably undeveloped due to being prem) Asthmatic as a child (no longer suffer with) Scoliosis, Kyphosis.

I think I’ve been Googling too much! I probably shouldn’t!Hi Neckarski, whilst on one level I can see we all have a common theme in any conditions we live with - that being they all impact us, but much more than that, with your conditions, I'm not seeing any glaring link.
Not that I am aware of. But who knows maybe I could have in time. I seem to have everything else so why not throw another spanner in the works!Do you have any other autoimmune conditions, such as thyroid challenges (not all are auto-immune), Rheumatoid arthritis to name just a couple?
My Dad had Diabetes Mellitus (not sure what type he had. He had it towards the end of his life) But it was actually Coronary Artery Disease (a heart attack) that he died from. Diabetes was just a contributing factor I think. There seems to be a lot of heart problems in my family as well! Two Uncles, one passed away and one is still alive!Type 1 diabetes is still something of a mystery as to why it develops in some and not others, although having other family members with the same auto-immune conditions increases any individual's chances of developing it.
That’s exactly how I feel at the moment! Diabetes IS taking control!!or they become it an the condition takes over their lives and holds them hostage
I already know that they are linked. It’s pretty obvious actually! My Auntie (my Dads Sister also has Scoliosis! She had one leg shorter than the other and had it lengthened!Just edited to add your Scolyosis and Kyphosis could be linked to each other, bearing in mind their nature.
The comments I would make on your post is that heart disease is extremely common and as our population ages we have more crumblies (said with an affectionate smile) around. As we age it is likely a few things will go wrong, or wear out.I think I’ve been Googling too much! I probably shouldn’t!

My Grandad died from Coronary Thrombosis! So I’m expecting some sort of heart problems in the near to distant future! I also recently discovered that a 2nd Cousin on my Dads side has Diabetes but he is T2.
