Both my cousin (who preceded me into the diabetes camp by a couple years) and myself had strep in the year leading up to diagnosis. Cousin had a double-whammy in that they gave him penicillin and he found out he was violently allergic.
Funny, there was no "family history" when cousin was diagnosed. But when I got the diagnosis, well, aunty Y and uncle X MAY have been diabetic. . .
When I felt the best, blood sugar in best control (A1c 6.9-7.1) I was roughly following 40-30-30, but most certainly I was also exercising on the regular.
