Re: RIP Dad
Bill, I'm sorry I just saw this news, and I want to add my belated condolences. I know your dad was a big presence in your life and I'm sure he was proud of you. He and I had something in common, if Bob Juch's post was accurate about his fondness for Golden Corral. I eat there almost every week, though I try to only eat the healthy stuff. I'm sorry to hear your family tends not to have great longevity. Please take care of yourself, physically and emotionally. We want to see you on the Bored for a LONG time!

Thanks Ed, and it was actually Ponderosa me and Dad ate lunch at weekly for 13 years (this wasn't the thread for a BJ correction)... and then only stopped going because they shut it down. We did often go on my other day off as well, and the places we ate at regularly changed throughout the years, but for about two years earlier this decade, we did go to Golden Corral until we decided it was just too damned expensive even with a coupon.
Smoking has wiped out my Mom's side of the family (She was the ONLY one who never smoked), and diabetes (hereditary, not the kind you just get from a piss poor diet) my Dad's side... but thanks to refraining from the former and being lucky enough (As have been my four sisters) not to be inflicted with the latter, I might make it around longer my Dad and grandparents did. Well, if Mecca doesn't kill me that is....

Re: RIP Dad
Seriously: Not the thread to do it in but anyway: Lotsa things can trigger diabetes besides bad eating habits. It's a big unknown. Might be one of those epigenetic switches that suddenly make you vulnerable. Meaning "no-one knows what happened or how to switch it *back*". In my case, a cancer operation created a hormonal imbalance & zap I'm horrifically diabetic. For a friend, it was their thyroid cancer treatment that triggered the diabetes.
Keep getting your blood sugar levels checked.
I had to hit official old age to have all this happen & the docs say "aren't you glad it didn't happen when you were younger". It's not fun *now*.

I can't imagine it's fun at any age... but the issue in my Dad's family was they all got it young, and the Type 1 insulin injection kind. It skipped his brother, but that brother's daughter was stricken with it at age 6. No matter how well you maintain it, the cumulative effects of decades of diabetes are just horrible. At the very least, I'm grateful to have missed out on that...

Re: RIP Dad
Amazing things are coming down the pike, we all hope, for type 1s & 2s both.
A brain neuron transmission chemical, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is also produced in the pancreas & can turn alpha cells, which don't produce insulin, into beta cells, that do.
I'm scared of going out & getting some though; with health supplements you are not sure you are getting what you think (there is no independent-party testing legally required). I wish I could get it on prescription.
A lot of the research should be in time to help your cousin.
