[QUOTE="rochari, post: 397295, member: 68255"] I'm an oldie now and have been type 1 for 50 years. Both my mother and grandmother were both type 1's. My great-grandmother died from the disease as insulin was not available in those days. After all these years I don't have any complications which, although very grateful, has always puzzled me. I've known other diabetics who have been just as careful as me and they had complications after a few years. A doctor once told me that it was perhaps because I inherited the illness straight from a long genetic line which he said does sometimes give a few people some type of protection. He gave it a name which I can't now recall. Bill [/QUOTE]
