Is diabetes caused by a gene and is everyone in a fanily doomed to get it?
When a small group of doctors were asked whether a glucose reading of 181 (well above a safe 120) was caused by a gene, they agreed it was the only possible cause! When told the patient’s reading had dropped to 106, the doctors were asked if the gene died. No, said the puzzled doctors, genes don’t die. The traditional diagnosis for minorities that genes caused their diabetes is no longer valid.
