I'm so sorry to those who've lost family members - so young!
Oh yeah, they found out the Type 1 is always caused by a virus.. They determined that back in the 1970's.. You are more apt to get a virus causing diabetes from having it in your family of course, but a virus without any diabetics (like a parent is always possible). I got mine after having strep throat on and off for 3 years before they decided to take my tonsils out just because those 3 years I didn't get tonsilitis.. I didn't have any diabetics in my family going back at least 4 generations that we knew of (my great grandparents were still alive then so they knew their parents medical histories).. Funny thing is that about 20 years after I became a diabetic my mother, grandmother, and 2 aunts became type 2's (go figure)Their doctor believes it was caused by a virus of all things. The stats for that area jumped 50% and it was all kids.
Im just getting into this so anything you would like to share, Ill accept. I did just get through reading a book where kids (from 5 to teenagers) have learned how to deal with J1.
As I learn, I post it here in hopes it will help others.

Anything you want to add would be great. A link to the Joslin/Beth Isreal Deconese Treatment/Teaching Unit and a little about it would be very wonderful.
TY
Oh so you missed when the huge pubilicity camplaign of Paul being dead from a car accident.. Having to play the albums backwards to hear "I buried Paul" and "Turn me on dead man, turn me on dead man" .. Couldn't believe it.. One of my aunts had a towel around her neck the entire weekend through that because she couldn't stop crying... We lived in Connecticut.. That same aunt and a cousin went to the Shea Stadium show and before the concert the limo they were in ran over a puddle.. The two of them bent over and smeared the water the limo ran over all over their faces because they were in that limo *LMAO*The assassination of John Lennon. I was only 4 I think. But I remember my mom crying in the living room and holding her hand. It's the only truly vivid memory I have of being that age.
Well I don't know.. I thought that this stuff is basic human kindness and we all do it, then again lately I could scream at most people these days...I didn't think it was weird..I knew this group was special. I figured we could encourage each other and give each ideas.
Charity doesn't have to cost money! It doesn't even need to cost you time. Smile at an old person. Help somebody with their bags. Donate your old clothes or furniture. Call a shut in or someone dealing with something bad. Just give a bit of you when you can. Your smile or compliment may be the only one they get today.
I have never dealt with that kind of organization..my friend has with dance troops. They performed with an orchestra. She said she would deal with a teenage dance troop any day..but never would tavel with an orchestra again! Too many diva's.
I was born a week later.....The day Kennedy was assasinated. I was in study hall in high school. The news came over the speaker and you could hear as every one inhaled and then all held their breath. Then there was crying.
