Yes, diabetes ran in the Kyle family of the Indigenous Osage. I read the book first and then later watched the movie.



Type 2 diabetes was also problematic for the 1800's Ingalls family. Primarily Caroline, Laura, Carrie and Grace. But Laura was 89 or 90 years old when she was first diagnosed so that's a long life not to be aware of it.

Thankfully, I don't think that Mary Ingalls had diabetes but she had enough health issues as it was.

This absolutely was an interesting conversation.
