well i have 4 kids and so far none of them have it (thank god ). but i never got it till i was 21 so they are just now at that age, ( fingure crossed ) they never will. i know most of the cases can be managed but there are some like mine that cant be of course. i did hear awhile back that they was close to haveing a shot to prevent diabetes , not cure it but prevent it. hell thats one step closer. i know they will never get a cure before it takes my life but i hope they find one before my kids get it or if i have any grandkids . ill lose it if i pass this crap on to any of them.
