Diabetes QuestionsRight now I’m sort of seeing the man I hope to marry and the other day we brought up the subject of babies. We discussing that there may be a high risk if we had children that one of our babies would have diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family and I believe it runs in his. He is a diabetic and I’m not. We figure we are in a very high risk category, but since at this time we’re not married or planning to have kids yet we haven’t asked a doctor. We would both like your opinions and answers.

Is having diabetes considered to be a disability legally?

March 16th, 2009 Hazel 7 comments

Diabetes QuestionsI have a friend who was told her can’t get his driving permit or license until he goes 2 or 2 whole years w/o a seizure from his diabetes. He is almost 18 now. He is insulin dependant. He has to take it after EVERYTHING he eats. I understand people will say “diabetes is a disease not a disability” but I beg to differ. A disease such as diabetes can also be a disability in a lot of cases! I just need some other opinions on this.
