[QUOTE="KevinPotts, post: 1169582, member: 290458"] Like [USER=278349]@Lizj[/USER] I was adopted as a baby. Non of my large family if adoptive relatives had diabetes and yet many were obese. My birth mother tracked me down when I was 28 and I discovered T2 was rife in the family. I was only diagnosed with my signature stats very recently and have since done several BG tests with my kids (all adults) and my middle child, who in physique and looks is the most like me has pre-diabetes. Yet he's a regional 1500m runner and as thin as a whippet. I embraced a total life style change and my signature at 7 weeks says it all. So.... I think genetically speaking there was no avoiding T2 for me...but getting a hold of it and exerting powerful control has certainly been possible. I hope that answers your question:) Diagnosed 13 April 16: T2, no meds, HbA1c 53, FBG 12.6, Trigs 3.6, HDL .75, LDL 4.0, BP 169/95, weight 13st 8lbs, waist 34" (2012 - 17st 7lbs, waist 42"). 2 June 16: FBG AV 4.6, Trigs 1.5, HDL 2.0, LDL 3.0, BP 120/72, weight 11st 11lbs, waist 30" (2012 - 17st 7lbs, waist 42"). Never give in, never give in, never never never given in...Winston Churchill. Sent from my iPhone3 June16: Sent from my iPhone [/QUOTE]
