Answers:
With your family history and the symptoms you're describing, unfortunatly the chance is pretty high that you may have DMM!. The old term "Type 1" sets typicially during puberty!.
If it turns out that you do have DMM, you will have to educate yourself, perhaps join a support group and be extra carefull!. If you take good care of yourself and never miss to do the extra things you need to do (untill they find a permanent cure), you should be able to lead a normal perfect life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you have a 70% chance that you have a type 1 DM, see a doctor to be sure, anti-gad test will show if you have type 1 or II DM, always have an orange juice ready in your back incase you are hypo!. have a band or bracelet that tells people your diabetic and if you feel very week or unconcious they will know what to do!.!.!.put in your band that when you are able to swallow they should give you a candy or cola or juice with sugar and they should contact the nearest hospital!. Put your name and emergency contact number in your band also!.
I hope everything will turn out ok!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
