Hi SunniD: I already knew the rates my Endo had given
me many years ago. I had posted them earlier and
they are in the similar range as yours.
I find this peculiar. My 2 older Brothers got Diabetes at
age 4 1/2, 4 and me at a couple of months past age 3.
My Sister(twin of my oldest Brother)still does not have
Diabetes at age 53. I'm glad for that because she was
just dxd with RA(which I also have)and is not handling it
too good. It's just odd since we all grew up in the same
town, environment, went to the same places, ate the same
foods, etc. It must be she missed the bad spin of the
gene wheel.
Neither of my Parents, or any of our Grandparents or
anyone before us had Juvenile Diabetes. Of course, back
then people died, there were no autopsies, the Doc just
put down whatever was common I guess.
My cousin on my Mom's side did get Diabetes at age 6 yrs.
after us. And my second cousins on my Dad's side got it
long after us at ages, 6, 9 and 11 . All in the same family like us. Weird.
