You can just answer with a number or a detailed explanation. As the parent of a type 1 child, I don't know another parent (except in online forums).Continue

Perhaps, even more simply, if you weren't angry at the disease you should be concerned. It places huge demands on those who live with the disease - kids and families. You are not alone and this is a great place to connect with people who…"
type1moms replied to Jack's discussion 'T1 and marijuana'"Truly interesting topic. I don't have much to offer in the way of experience or opinion and, as a result, would not have thought about the munchies. T1D truly effects every part of the T1D's life."
rick phillips replied to type1moms's discussion 'Incidence/prevalence of Type 1 in the US - looking for reliable numbers'"well I am familiar with a HS of 1600 that had 6, but two of those were twins. Another HS I worked with 1700 in an impoverished claimed 2. The later was wrong though I have no idea were actually there and the former was abnormally high due to the…"
type1moms replied to type1moms's discussion 'Incidence/prevalence of Type 1 in the US - looking for reliable numbers'"Thank you for your efforts. Your numbers are the closest to the numbers I've found. If correct, the incidence is actually.0026. My research shows that this number or, more specifically,.00249 is the incidence in the entire population - adults…"

rick phillips replied to type1moms's discussion 'Incidence/prevalence of Type 1 in the US - looking for reliable numbers'"ok well here is the answer but not the percentage
About 215,000 young people under 20 years of age have diabetes. Most of them have type 1 diabetes. As obesity rates in children continue to soar, type 2 diabetes, a disease that used to be seen…"
"But this information provided does not differentiate between Type 1 and Type 2. The OP is looking for prevalence/incidence of Type 1."

Sam Iam replied to type1moms's discussion 'Incidence/prevalence of Type 1 in the US - looking for reliable numbers'"Actually, Amylin is produced by the Beta cells."
Annie replied to type1moms's discussion 'Incidence/prevalence of Type 1 in the US - looking for reliable numbers'"It sometimes isn't just the beta cells that are attacked. That is why people with T1 can benefit from things like Symlin, which is a synthetic form of Amylin, made by another cell type in the pancreas (delta cells??).
Plus, people with T1 are…"

Hello! Thank you for having me as a friend type1moms!!!
Is the profile photo of your son? Very cute :)
Pennsylvania....a distance away, but it feels like you're right here! That's one of the appealing factors of tu.diabetes. I'm in Canada...in the southwestern part of the province of Ontario...a city named Kitchener-Waterloo. I'm a wife of 33 years (hubby is also diabetic), mom to two grown children, a grandma to 3 lovable little boys, a teacher, and before that an illustrator (still do some) and graphic designer....I speak French fluently, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, sing, walk, garden, ski, ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I love having friends over, I bake/cook, am an eclectic music lover, an animal lover...the ocean...ah the ocean...it speaks to me! Oh...and I have diabetes (and a few other things).
Nice to have you as a friend!!! Tell me a bit about yourself!
Your son is in high school now, how is it all going?
Keep in touch, ok?
hugs....linda
