Diabetes is a risk factor for AD, but I don't think they've officially linked it to E4. I don't know about the reverse. I've been a diabetic for 20 years, and I've always been an "interesting case" in that I did not respond the way other diabetics did to various medications - which I now believe is because of my 4/4 status. Did 23andMe not specify which genes resulted in the higher risk?
I sympathize, some of my ancestors did too & unfortunately we cannot choose our parentshairyfairy wrote:I can`t figure out how one person (me) can be predisposed to so many diseases. My ancestors really sucked!
