I had written earlier about the PD/diabetes connection in my husband's family, but it goes further that I was aware, after talking to my sister-in-law. So, to recap: my husband, Iain - age 55/PD 12 years his older sister - diabetic their mother - PD - also diagnosed in her early 40's her brother - diabetic their mother (i.e. my husband's maternal gradmother) - diabetic So much for PD being an "older person's disease" as was suggested on another post. As for my family history, if I am to serve as the control group: no history of either condition, save my maternal grandmother's half sister who had adult onset diabetes. But that is kind of stretching it, isn't it? Barb Bates
