Hey, GM - stop in to ask questions or just vent. I'm sorry for your family, but as you said, if something's going to go wrong with the health of one of your kids, T1D isn't the worst thing out there.
There are some other similarly activated diseases that sometimes accompany T1D, like celiac's (the people who actually can't have gluten, not just the fad), Hashimoto's (thyroid), Crohn's (intestines), etc. My boy has now been diagnosed with Hashimoto's as well. It's really not a big deal, though - once it has damaged his thyroid enough, he'll have to take a pill per day for the rest of his life, but that's all that's needed. That should be easy to fold into his T1D care.
