My daughter was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. We moved into our house seven years ago, and the previous owner had a son who developed type 1 diabetes a year after they moved out. Also, we had a next door neighbor, same age as my daughter, who was diagnosed with leukemia. Is this a coincidence or could it be an environmental hazard in my home or neighborhood?
