Hi Brad, welcome aboard! That is a lot of diabetes for your father's family! Are they all type 1 like you? How is your type 1 now? I hope you are doing well.

I was diagnosed in 1945, when I was 6, and am very healthy. With good control we can have long, healthy lives.

Hi Brad. If I'm counting right, your grandmother had 9 boys? My mother only had 5 boys (and 3 girls).
