Came home from vacation and noticed my 12 year old had lost about 10lbs. He’s also been saying his vision is blurry.

I have two. I agree. It sucks but sucks a teeny bit less these days

5/13/22 9:59am

Crazy how many have more than one. I have two as well.

Our endo told us he a treats a couple families with 5. Shoot me now.

Type 1 diabetes has a lot to do with Genetics.

5/13/22 10:54am

Dang! Never good news. So sorry. Good luck in the days ahead.

Sorry man. But hey, if a kid is gonna get type 1 DM, let it be the kid of an internist. Hba1c = 6 forever.
