another brother gets it...

I got an email tonight from my brother Jim. It seems that he took a blood sugar test and his "glycohmoblobin was 6.4" (he said normal was 4-6). So, he is testing his blood and warned me to have my MD test me for this condition (diabetes). Well, he is about 21 months younger than me so I guess it just took him a bit longer.

I wrote him back saying that I already was type 2 and that I didn't want to tell Mom for fear of upsetting her.

He replied that "she probably wouldn't be surprised".

I said that I'd think about it and gave me reasons for not telling Mom.
