(At least the cover was identical!) I also had an uncle with Type I. He died just a few years after my diagnosis, and before BG meters were invented. I wish now that I could have talked to him about his Type I diabetes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-59397935588225527292011-02-18T09:01:45.434-06:002011-02-18T09:01:45.434-06:00What a truly great and special find, Kim.

Sent my mom the link and she looked through the book pictures and thought it looked like the one she had not too longer after she was diagnosed (in 58).

We know he had D for as long as my grandfather can remember, my my grandfather can't remember much about it, but said he was pretty sure he remembered his mother giving his father shots.<br /><br />(And, by the way, I really thought my T1 "came out of no where." Then I found out about these two relatives. Plus I have at least one cousin on that side of the family with Celiac disease, so there's another connection to auto-immune diseases.)<br /><br />I don't really feel a connection, though. Maybe I would if they were closer relatives, or maybe I would if I'd developed D as a youngster and didn't have the DOC to connect with yet.Elizabethhttp://type1at30.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-86869540757021776142011-02-17T13:26:28.885-06:002011-02-17T13:26:28.885-06:00I enjoyed reading this story.

He had type 2 diabetes (I know, totally different!!) But when she was first diagnosed - at age 5 - she remembered him checking his blood sugar. She calls him her "diabetes angel".Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818861980843167968noreply@blogger.com
