Hello Everyone!

Happy Monday!  If you're in Boston, hope you're enjoying this terrible rain.  :sad3:

MyType2 has been receiving a lot of interesting information from diabetics - regarding the role that genetics play in your chances of getting type 2 diabetes.  

This is an interesting topic to us, as it relates directly to the kind of information we are trying to gather for our teen audience - just now learning that they have type 2 diabetes or have become pre-diabetic.

So what do you think?  Do genetics play a huge role in getting type 2 diabetes?  As big of a role as lifestyle does?  What would you recommend to those faced with the risk of inheriting type 2?  Leave your opinion, and stories with us at: http://www.pbs.org/mytype2/share-your-stories, and help our audience become more aware of their situation.

Thank you!
