My exact thought, but still, why have multiple sick children?!
- parrellel 8y agoType 1 usually doesn't mean a child is Born sick. There's usually some triggering illness and then the immune system decides that it's time to fuck up the pancreas. While there's a genetic element to it, there's usually nothing saying some specific kid is going to get it. So, you get a cold sometime between the ages of ~2 and 18 and suddenly you're islet cells go bye-bye.
