[QUOTE="becca59, post: 2461768, member: 264425"] My brother has it. Diagnosed at 15. Mine came along 33years afterwards at 54. I had had another autoimmune condition pop up 4 years before and then had an horrendous bout of flu. Proper in bed for 2 weeks flu. I wasn’t well for some months after that. Requiring help to get home from the shop on one occasion as I felt peculiar. With the knowledge I have now it was definitely diabetes. Full blown symptoms came on rapidly including a huge weight loss. So, for me I think it was in the genes, and I think the illness kickstarted it. Plus as a family we have varied unusual autoimmune conditions. [/QUOTE]
