And the Trialnet results are...

NEGATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is, neither Brenden or I have any of the auto-antibodies that cause type 1 D. Amazing!

From much of the research I've read my little prince was at GREAT risk of developing D. (50%+) With a maternal grandfather, father and sibling that was dx'd as an infant, the genetics are obviously very, very strong here. I know there are no guarantees, but at least for now we don't have to worry every time he says "I'm so thirsty!". ;-) WooHoo!!!!!!
