Abstract

The etiology of diabetes has so far defied complete description. Although it is a familial disorder, recent evidence has shown that the pattern of inheritance may be due to a number of factors. Diabetes is not a single disease but a syndrome of carbohydrate intolerance following altered beta cell function. A practical method of genetic counselling is presented, based on known rather than predicted incidence.
