Hi all,

Any T1parents out there with kids who are also T1? I am T1 & have a 6 year old, he doesn't have diabetes..as far as I'm aware.

Just wondered about other people?!?

One of my paternal uncles has type 1, diagnosed at age 29 with a flu like illness and diabetic coma, has 10 children. Two of them were type 1 and at least 1 of the remaining eight has type 2. One died in early 20's of kidney complications from type 1. This uncle is the one who kept on them when I was small to test and treat my then borderline diabetes. He probably saved my life.

Both @mahola and @1Sarah1 I believe are Parents with type 1 with a Child with type 1.

Are you are you asking because you are concerned about risk for your son @Annabel_Eve ? If so maybe have a look at trialnet - http://www.bristol.ac.uk/media-library/sites/clinical-sciences/migrated/documents/factsheet.pdf

Hi I was diagnosed age 2 and my 2yr old was diagnosed when she had just turned 2. We are both pumping. I've got one year old twins so I keep an eye on them for signs.

Yeah I think I am really. I've only recently thought about it properly to be honest.
