Personal commentsMy family have a history of thyroid with my grandmother and my sister badly affected. Three cousins also affected by thyroid. Also a wide ranging number of diabetics. I have not tested positive to either problem. Since had first contact with a cousin in New Zealand, both he and his mother have same problem - familial?
