Thank you

My aunt had it and lately I have a lump on each thumb that is sore and swollen and my hands are stiff but I am having a blood test.  As a diabetic some medications are essential but I have started drinking green tea full of antioxidants

This form of arthritis is an autoimmune disorder.  There are many ways people get diseases, but the strongest defense against autoimmune disorders is to keep your immune system in balance -- not working overtime, not working too little.  How to do this is complicated  because the modern world is full of hidden toxins that can overtax an immune system and burn it out, but basically, try to avoid toxins, don't overdo antibiotics and steroidal medications, avoid pro-inflammatory foods.  This is a simple answer to a very complicated question, so you have to fill in the details by doing your homework.  Do you have reason to suspect you're likely to get his disease?
