I may find out soon. I was just advised that I've been exposed at work so am a little freaked out right now. My sugar numbers haven't been terrible, but not great either. What I'm trying to figure out is if diabetics are at greater risk to get it or if we are just in greater danger if we contracted it. All I know is that I'll be running to the doctor at the first sign, but that's a tough call too because (TMI I know, but...) I have PMS which usually drains my energy as it is. I'm just in a minor state of panic right now. :-(
