I thought this through all bar 11 months of my childhood, my adolescence and beyond! I was the middle of 3 children: brother born Feb 1957, me Aug 1958 and sister Dec 1959 - quite a production line! I was nearly killed by Type 1 in July 1959 and again in Aug 1966. Naturally I was very irritated when told God is all loving etc, especially as nobody else in the family had it, nor, as far as we know had had it in the previous generation. Why me? Over the years, thanks to Gian Franco Bottazzo (died recently in 2017) who linked Diabetes to an auto-immune condition in the 1970's, I can accept that mine is another manifestation found in auto-immune problems on both sides of my family. My mother's mother had rheumatoid arthritis for at least 20 years: my father had chronic asthma and hay fever; my sister in the last five years has had rheumatoid arthritis and my daughter is celiac. For many years doctors insisted my diabetes was inherited until Dr Soo-Mi Park, at Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge, concluded that diabetes was not traceable in my family. But I did inherit an over excited immune system! You have my full support - best of luckHi everyone
The question in the title of the topic
Why Some People Get Diabetes While Some Do not ?
Why ? Why ? Why ?
Certainly not a question of luck
Some people should not understand that I want to get everyone
But a question

Whoever figures it out will get a Nobel Prize for sure. Actually two Nobels, at separate times and to separate people, since there seems to be nothing in common between the causation of Type 1 and Type 2.
My doctor said: "You had a healthy diet and were not overweight, so who knows, it could well be genetic."

You have been missing for a while. Kidnapped??
Thank you for asking. Away for 10 days over the Xmas period, and since then, insanely busy with work. Less time to think about diabetes (which may be a good thing!). Diet same as before, but less sleep, more stress and less exercise (the latter due mainly to awful weather here in northeastern USA).
