Selfish people, arseholes who think they know it all, ignoramuses, chavs and people with no manners. People who play music on the bus or train full blast on their phones.
Hit and miss. I would say 50% John, as statistically you either (a) will, (b) won't. My dad was diagnosed type 2 at 56. I was diagnosed type 1 at 33, 3 yrs ago. My sister is not diabetic. My paternal grandad was type 2 and my maternal grandad and nan are type 2. None of their 6 daughters including my mom, obviously, don't have it.
I'm off the clock so forgive me but with cousins and their children it's about 6 in 40. Or about 15% for a mathematical answer. (Including my T2 cousin).
Phew.
