[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 197040, member: 31282"] I am the only (diagnosed) diabetic in 3 generations of my family - but I am definitely not the only obese family member there's ever been! I am also the only one who's ever been diagnosed with osteoarthritis; and the only one to have teenage asthma, which I think was triggered by severe whooping cough when I was 13. It is possible that there was diabetes and OA in my parents' generation, whci may have gone undiagnosed because that generation 'didn't bother the doctor'. Or could it be that all these conditions are some sort of auto-immune response, and the whooping cough triggered the lot? My neice is the only one anywhere in either of her families who has MS. Where did that come from? As for obesity, Sparkles - by the sound of your posts on here you've never eaten a 'bad', junk-food diet - you are too good a cook! Me too - I've always eaten good food, just far too much of it! and every time someone got heavy with me ( :lol: no pun intended) I would reach for the food - my main prop and comforter. I would have done better if someone (including me) had tried to find out [i]why[/i] I was over-eating, instead of just going on at me. Some obesity is certainly caused by the burgers, crisps, sweets and fizzy drinks, and sheer gluttony. In my opinion, some of it is just as serious an illness as anorexia and bulimia. If I was as much underweight as I am overweight they'd all be falling over themselves to help me! Except I'd be dead, of course . . . it just takes longer with obesity! Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
