      My dad had T1D so I was sent home with him immediately after diagnosis at age 19. My dad gave me all of my injections for several weeks before I learned to do it on my own. I often wonder if I would have learned more with the formal education most newly diagnosed people get but, 30 years later, I am doing well.

      No diabetes in my family going back on both sides as far back as my parents’ generation knew. Just me.

      By the time I answered and there were about 160 answers, just over 50% had no relatives with T1D.

      I went ahead and put my sister down because she had Graves Disease, which is an autoimmune disorder. But, I never knew whether her diabetes was Type I or Type II. She started taking insulin as an adult so if she was Type I, it was adult onset Type I. I just know that she seemed to be very insulin resistant, which I associate with Type II. The last I knew she took close to 3 times as much insulin as I do. Having said that, I also know she did not take care of herself and was very resistant to getting on an insulin pump and CGM. She finally did, but by then it was too late. She already had so many other diabetic complications, her quality of life was severely affected. She died before her 70th birthday after having lived a very sad life for over 20 years. TMI, I know, but an explanation I felt needed to be shared. A case study in stubborn rebellion.

      My brother at 23 becameT1D, but my grandmother was in her early 40s and they diagnosed her as Type 2 and gave her ā€œsugar pills.ā€ Because it was the 1930s and the Depression was impoverishing the family, she didn’t even get the pills that wouldn’t have helped anyway. She died of gangarine at 45.

      I chose “Other” because growing up I had one uncle with T1, and one uncle with T2. However, my mother was diagnosed with LADA 25 years after I was diagnosed. Not sure how you would count that on this question!

      I had been the only one with T1D for 40 years, until after my Dad had gone through cancer treatments and lost the love of his life, my Mom. Less than 6 weeks after her passing, he tested positive for T1D (Never had been T2D!). If it hadn’t been for that sequence of events for my Dad, I believe I would still be the only one on both sides of the family with T1D.

      I wonder how many of our past relatives living in rural areas were never correctly diagnosed? Many living now have expressed how they were misdiagnosed. How many more of our past generations were misdiagnosed or were too poor to even get medical care?

      In addition to my dad, his baby sister and older brother have T1D. My aunt was diagnosed at 5 within months of my dad being diagnosed at 9. There were many in the neighborhood who also were diagnosed within a 6 month time frame of my aunt & dad. My dad’s older brother was diagnosed when he was 33. That was over 35 years ago. 3 out of 4 kids in my dad’s immediate family were diagnosed with T1D. I am the only grandchild & there are no great grandchildren diagnosed as of yet. I hope and pray the buck stops with me and no one else in our family reaches the same fate. We’ve had more than our fair share to say the least
