    I was on a P-3 crew deployed to Masirah, Oman (flying into the northern gulf theater of operations). We received Gammaglobulin prior to departure. Several years later (at 41), I was very unexpectedly diagnosed with IDDM (they later refined the diagnosis as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA, which was further confirmed by the presence of GAD65 antibodies) and, like one of the other posters, there was none in my family on either side.
