So I have been dying to put together a questionaire about the items that I constantly question.. and totally informally want to know if there is a common thread.
So I am going to put a few of my crazy thoughts out there, and let me know if you have common threads. All of these questions are pre-diagnosis: (total random order and random thoughts)
1. Did you child have some form of spots (chicken pox virus) even if they were vaccinated?
2. Did your child seem to have frequently gotten the 'bug' that was going around, but it tended to last a bit longer for them then the other children?
3. (Laugh out loud on this one) Did you always wash their grapes and other fruit before feeding them?
4. Did they drink a lot of milk?
4a. If yes, was it always organic or hormone free?
5. Was your child a vegetarian or not? (if for some of their life - please note)
6. Did they eat a lot if processed foods?
7. Did they eat a lot of Peanut butter?
7a. If yes, was it regular or natural peanut butter?
8. Was the buik of their beverages water, fruit juices or just milk?
9. Did your child get sweaty at night when they were sleeping regardless of temp or season?
10. Does one or both ear(s) turns red for no apparent reason?
11. Did you child get ear infections?
11a.Were they on antibiotics more than once for ear infections
12. Where they ever put on an inhaler for a cough? or asthma?
13. Were you a brand loyal customer and so your child has the same brand of foods for years?
(eg. Krustez pancake batter mix, heinz ketchup, Hidden valley ranch dressing)
14. Was your child orally fixated from a young age, constantly putting things in their mouth?
Even chewing on thier shirt sleeves, or collars of jackets and zippers.
15. Were either parent a negative blood type or 'O' Type blood, and required an injection of RHogam while pregnant?
16. What brand of babyfood did you use? was it always the same? what about when your baby started eating yogurt? (yobaby? or regular yogurt?)
I know, researchers are falling off thier chairs laughing at me right now, but you probably think the same things too from time to time. (Like laughing at me, or wondering about each and every action you took leading up to diagnosis day that triggered the diabetes)
Thanks so much, and I may post more in the future, and I would love to hear if you have any thoughts or ideas of common threads to their diabetes.
I look forward to your posts or emails in response.

I am now thinking about the plastic that they say is leaking into all our food and drinks, could that be the cause
Ben is 10 and was diagnosed at 9 , but the year before he had a cut that got infected and had to get a tetnes shot ( I don’t immunize my kids) , and antibiotics so this was new, and then they gave him the first of the dtp shots , but 3 months later we received a note from the hospital saying that there was problem with the needle and we should re do it ,, no way
I will always wonder if this series of events wasn’t the cause , of course our team said it couldn’t’ be , but???????
Thank you so much for your detailed responses. I will be compiling the general questions and I am especially really interested in your post comment about the whole 'infection' and medical intervention for the series of medical 'episodes' for something you would hope would seem so simple (infected cut in your case).
I am not a medical professional, but my insight into this (and thanks for opening my eyes about it not necessarily being an 'ear' infection... but an infection of some sort.. the point is that I think the body of someone who has the marker, who has some sort of 'infectious' attack... the body continues to try and 'fight' and when the the body's auto immune antibodies attack to clear the infection or virus (whichever is petinant in your childs case)... and when they can't target the infection because of what ever craziness and confusion occur because of 'leads, toxic plastics, immunizations and artificial environental introductions to the system' the pancreas is attacked instead.
I ironically am posting an article on lead and plastics and the connection to diabetes in my opinion... look for it, I will post the exact link shortly from this comment or it will be on the main post page.
Continue to check back and please feel free to add your opions and stories from experience to this blog. It is for all pancreas parents!
