I have two grandsons, ages seven and ten. Both have type 1 diabetes. They are half-brothers, having different fathers. The younger one got diabetes first, then, six months later, the older one got diabetes. I find this strange. In fact, I find this very strange. There has to be a common denominator here. Can one child be given diabetes from the other child through blood sticks or a needle stick?
