Yes, but you do need to understand body chemistry to delve further ...and I quote:-
"Mitochondrial diabetes is a group of rare forms of diabetes caused by mutations of the mitochondrial genome. The commonest form of this diagnosis is due to a mutation in the mitochondrial leucine-transfer RNA gene. They are clinically characterised by maternal transmission, and prevalence is between 0.5% and 2% of all diabetes."
Mitochrondrial DNA can only come down the female line so look to your mother for likeness links.

Hello johnbear2
I have never heard of this before. Could you tell us more about it and how you were diagnosed, and any med you need to take. Thanks.
Best wishes RRB
