How do you get diabetes?

sometimes it’s hereditary, others it’s because of a virus. sometimes it’s both. I was the first one in my family to have diabetes and that was because of an illness, then about 12 years ago my cousin got it because of a completely different illness. it’s not contagious, and it can affect the healthiest of people.

Way to go B.C….That is totally cool and great to see the folks up to the north doing something decent about kids who are type one ! As a 35 year old Southern California resident who had a long wait and alot of paperwork to get through to get a pump…type one kids come first. Pumps for them all in the U.S.. Anything less is unacceptable !

BismillahI am happy for you cowfreak99. I hope the insulin pump makes life better for you. We pray that more technology is developed to help with other health conditions for other people. God bless you, and keep you healthy.

I’m really glad there doing this, i’m 14 i’ve had dibatetes for a year now, we’ve been trying to get a pump for 6 months but the insurance company “lost” my A1C results so i had to get another one, now i get to see my doctor tommorow because of this to hopefully get a pump.
