[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 1668882, member: 388932"] 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 luck [/QUOTE]
