[QUOTE="stoney, post: 180747, member: 22612"] Congrats on your forthcoming event. From what I know about Type 1 (my son being diabetic when he was 3) it is not hereditary it is an autoimmune disease ( hate the word disease) where a virus attacks your immune system and from what I remember my Son was very ill the Christmas prior to his diagnosis in the January and I have always believed that. I was also told by the Consultant and DSN that there is a possibility of having Coeliacs disease (Gluten Free Diet) and 5 years on from his diagnosis he is also a Coeliac. My father was a Type 2 later on in his life, but I have not put any connection to that whatsover as he was just to watch his diet. [/QUOTE]
