A surprising number of employees living with T1D at T1D Exchange have a twin! For people with T1D, are you a twin (or a sibling of a multiple birth, such as a triplet)?

I’m not a twin, but I hope I have them!
My answer is no. I am concerned about the 2% that answered they didn’t know?!
Just as Bruce Schnitzler said, they probably were adopted and weren’t given info on their biological family.
I’m not a twin, but my brothers are! I’m the only T1 though. I hope I have twins also!
No but some think I have an evil twin when I am unaware that I am hypo
Perhaps the “I don’t know” response came from an adopted individual with no knowledge of siblings.
My brother, not a twin, became T1D at 23. I joined him at 40. Our grandmother was in her early 40s. Familial genetics? I think so.
I am not a twin but I do have a brother who also has type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed at 8 and he was at 5. There are 4 of us kids and two had type 1.
Identical twin here. She does not have T1D. Everyone always finds that fascinating.
If you really want to research this, then come to Twins day in Twinsburg,Ohio. Lot’s of research is done during the Aug event.
