From East Helena, Montana, USA:
I have had type 1 diabetes for five years and would like to do anything possible to prevent my 2-year old daughter from developing it. I have heard that limiting the amount of sugar she consumes could help prevent the onset. Is this true?
It won't prevent diabetes; but it may be good for her teeth. In any case, if you have autoimmune diabetes, the likelihood of her becoming diabetic is less than 5%.
