[QUOTE="howie, post: 93841, member: 21140"] tony, like you i'm convinced my T1 was triggered by environmental factors but, but susceptibility is usually in our genes. apparently its whether you're born with HLA markers, i got no family history but 90% of T1 don't, maybe it's been there locked up for years but personally i think i probs wouldn't have HLA markers and i was just unlucky enough to get it after a traumatic period. i would guess that would make me less likely to pass on the gene than people who got it under normal circumstances and also people who have a strong family history, but then again who knows what triggers peoples T1, could have been the shock from tripping up in the playground at school as a child or getting stressed out with someone pushing in the cue at mc donald's. just in case i'm not gonna have kids till the' closed loop pump' or 'smart insulin' is released, but that suits me cos i don't plan on kids for another 10 years. from what i've read the risk isn't that high. howie [/QUOTE]
