My brothers are twins and one of them has diabetes. The woman who lives across the street from me has identical twin granddaughters and one of them has diabetes. And I just read an answer on yahoo and an answerer had said he/she has twin daughters and one is diabetic. Is this just a coincidence or does this happen a lot with twins? I know it's only three sets of twins, but still I kind of think it's ironic that I read about that and I know two sets in which one twin is diabetic. Maybe I'm just being stupid, but does that happen with twins a lot??Friday, November 25, 2011
Is It Common For One Twin To Have Diabetes?
My brothers are twins and one of them has diabetes. The woman who lives across the street from me has identical twin granddaughters and one of them has diabetes.

Cammie - It's different in every case.
ReplyDeleteI have identical daughters .One has had diabetes since she was 2.The other doesn't have diabetes.
They are 21 now.
Obviously the other twin has a very high chance of developing diabetes.She is tested and keeps an eye on it.
