Then there's also MODY, and probably a few other types of diabetes that I haven't heard of. At least we can rule out gestational diabetes as [USER=497090]@PJH2903[/USER] is male.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
