  If your family members are hesitant about screening for T1D-autoantibodies, why is that?
  I'm starting to sound like a broken record but, there appears to be two groups of T1Ds - (1) those with clear genetic links to others in their families with T1D and (2) those who are the one and only T1D in their entire family. I'm clearly in this second group. No one, on both sides of my family, going back to my great-grandparents and their siblings (born in the late 1800s) down to my children and their cousins (literally dozens of them) have either T1D or T2D. Though not entirely pointless, the likelihood of anyone in my family testing positive appears to be no different than the general public. Do we have ANY answers as to why these two groups exist?

  Maybe because we're all tired of answering these questions about antibodies, and we don't want to annoy our families as much as the website annoys us! LOL.

  My siblings are all in their 60’s. My son is 35 years old. My D was triggered by a virus and I am the only person in my family tree with T1D. No reason for them to get checked.

  My siblings are all >70 yrs old, though my younger sister tested a few years ago. I have no bio kids.

  What would make you more likely to participate in diabetes-related research? (Choose all that apply)
  Their acceptance of "older" volunteers! T1D for 56 years, and currently 78 years old. Research opportunities are typically age restricted at levels well below my current age.

  Great point, not much recognition for those of us that have lived with T1D for a long time.

  Many trials don’t take older people. I’m 71 and get eliminated.

  I’m going to be 80, and a “healthy” diabetic, yet my age eliminates me from most research. Aren’t they curious how I lived this long?

  The last clinical trial I participated in was a double failure, so it was all for not. So professionalisem, and error free for me.

  What factors would affect your participation in diabetes-related research?
  I am willing to participate in research, but at 75, I'm usually outside the age requirements.

  I'm close to 80. No researchers are interested people my age so I don't give it much thought.

  I do not qualify for most surveys and when I do, they want private information I do not want to give them, because I do not know how secure their computers ate.

  You get very few opportunities to volunteer when you're over 75.
