Diabetes runs in my mom's side of the family. She didn't have it, but, I think it may be genetic. But that doesn't mean everyone gets it.

I know 4 people who had gastric bypass and *Viola* no more insulin OR diabetes!!!

I just thought I'd mention that. No insults meant... these people had a life or death situation, where gastric bypasss was their only choice.. which goes to show, diet and excercise are vital.

Good luck to all of you. I hope you continue to stay healthy!
