[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 717723, member: 124172"] Grandfather, mother and brother all had/has T2 therefore I think my genes have something to do with it. In addition my reading on diagnosis was 6.8 which you could argue was still prediabetic but went up to 7.2 when I started taking statins so I'm wondering if that had any bearing particularly since coming off statins my latest hba1c was 42. I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year. Although boh my brother and I are overweight the ironic thing is that our sister, who is bigger than both of us passes her diabetes and cholesterol blood tests with flying colours. I am therefore of the opinion that luck, albeit sometimes bad, has a lot to do with it! [/QUOTE]
