My dad has Type 1 Diabetes and so does my grandfather. I am the first grandson and I wonder if I'm going to get this diagnosis too. Are there genetic risk factors for Type 1 Diabetes?

One research estimates that as many as 50 genes increase your risk for the condition. Best to monitor your sugar level consistently to nip the condition in the bud.
