Gloria,

My father had diabetes when he was dx with RA. I remember it was hard

to find drugs he could use. My mom told me my dad would have had an

easier time if he hadn't also had diabetes. I'm so worried I'll also

get diabetes, though my dad was told when he was with dx with diabetes

it usually skips a generation. My great-grandma (dads grandma) had it

and then my dad had it. My brothers and I have always known our kids

are at risk for diabetes.
