| My mom was a T2, her father and mother were T2, her brother was T2 and several of her aunts and uncles were T2. My dad has a few relatives with T2 as well.
Guess I picked the wrong relatives!
At diagnosis, I went through a lot of "why me's," but found quickly this was counterproductive. Doesn't matter WHY I've got it,its my life now and dealing with it, keeping #s in check and avoiding complications are all that really matters.
