Common Question: Does diabetes run in your family?
As of right now they do not know what causes type 1 diabetes. While type 2 diabetes can be pinpointed in some instances, type 1 diabetes is still somewhat up in there. I will disclose that I am not a science nor medical person so I will not go into details about that. However, for my case, I do have type 1 diabetes in my family (on my father's side). I do not know what caused my diagnosis to appear when I was 18 but, I do know that I did not eat too much sugar nor was I overweigh like most media suggests must be the cause of diabetes.
For me, living with type 1 diabetes comes with this question a lot. People are interested in knowing how does someone that was healthy for eighteen years of their life develop something as serious as type 1 diabetes. I think it creates that unknown worry of "could that happen to me?" and while no one is exempt from type 1 diabetes, it is important to know the signs and symptoms and if there is a history of any health conditions in your family.
There are people living with type 1 diabetes that have no one in the family living with the condition, so it is important to note that while I did have family members living with type 1, that is not always the case!

I'll take the time to list the signs and symptoms because I think they're incredibly important to note:
- Unusual thirst.
- Frequent urination.
- Weight change (gain or loss)
- Extreme fatigue or lack of energy.
- Blurred vision.
- Frequent or recurring infections.
- Cuts and bruises that are slow to heal.
- Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.
