But you touched on a key phrase in your letter. This is not as much a mental stess as it is a physical stress. It was explained to me that young children, develop Diabetes as a result of an infection or virus which creates a strain on the gene where Diabetes begins. But this is not isolated to children only.
Many adults end up having the same result.
It may not be a result of a virus or infection, but some other stress on the human body. The advance in diabetes research has abandoned many of the old theories that many of our parents grew up on. Most doctors that I have spoke with, even have total faith that there will be a cure in less than 10 years. To address your test results of the unbelievably low numbers you posted, I agree that there may either be something wrong with your monitor or even your test strips. There is a control solution that should be used to test every new bottle of strips that is opened.
