"I would like to commend Jan Sheehan for her excellent article,
"Outsmart Your Disease Genes." As a woman with a history of diabetes in
her family, it was interesting to see my risk of developing the disease.
And I was pleased to read the many simple strategies for lowering my odds.
With luck, I will now be able to avoid this disease that has affected
so many members of my family."
