month old having it too? 3 months after having my 2nd son we found out that my 4 year old had type 1 diabetes. I don't know if I should be worried about my 8 month old having type 1 diabetes too? I really hope not, but if anyone could help it would be great.

Hello
I have type one diabetes and i am 21 years old. i was diagnosed when i was 12. shorty after getting it, my grandpa got it. but nobody else in our whole family has it. if its in your family then check into it.

first off i am sooo sorry... also my grandfather has diabetes and i have recently learned alot about it. i will tell you this, it might be possible that your other child could get it. but i dont know...there are different ways you can get diebetis though...family genes, obesidy, also you can have high blood sugar or something like that...what i would recomend is, and i am no doctor, but i would go talk to your doctor or watch what your child eats...maybe less sugar and less carbs, but enough needed...the good ones. there might not be anything to worry about... just help your child watch what he/she eats.

p.s. i am not a doctor or a nurse so i am not for sure on what i have told you but i just say that from experiance and knowledge from being told, and being told to watch what i eat because if i dont i could get become a diabetic.

i hope that this helps you, and i wish the best for you and your family...i will pray for you.
