cause of diabetes. If both parents have Type 2
diabetes, there is a chance that nearly all of their
children will have diabetes. If both parents have Type 1
diabetes, fewer than 20 percent of their children will
develop Type 1 diabetes. In identical twins, if one twin
develops Type 2 diabetes, the chance is nearly 100 percent
that the other twin will also develop it. In Type 1
diabetes, however, only 40 to 50 percent of the second
twins will develop the disease, indicating that while
inheritance is important, environmental factors (for example,
too much food, too much stress, viral infection, and
so forth) are also involved in the development of
Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an inherited
defect of the immune system triggered by an

Just wanted to say thanks to those who responded
to my message. I am not doing too bad, I was to a
diabetes clinic last week & have an appointment on Wed
with the diatition, so that will surly help me with
the menue & make it a little easier to get my diet
under controll. It will be quite challenging to get the
foods that I am allowed to have for the crohns disease
& the diabetes to go together, but will be worth
the effort I am sure.<br
everyone here, and know that I will enjoy chatting with
you all. It is nice to see a fellow Canadian here, we
are practally neighbors, I am in Whitby, which about
20 km from Toronto going east. Look forward to more
contact, hope everyone is doing ok, Mary

Hello Mary,<br
Crohn’s disease. Yes your doctor could be right because
it can cause pancreatitus with a low bloodcell count
because of the drugs you use in particular the type that
may take 3 to 6 months before they start
working<br
This pancreas inflamation is probably the reason for
diabetes.You must be near or over 40 and they try to use
Euglucon or better known under the name glyburide which is
used in non-insulin dependent diabetes. These days the
use of insulin in latecomers to diabetes is more in
use than before.<br
fistulas or abcesses also around the anus. It is a pesty
disease and the diabetes bloodsugar must be held under
control to prevent infections which you need like a hole

Just to say hi to the members of the club. I have
just joined, as I am newly dx with diabites, and kind
of scared. I was put on Euglocon, 10mg in the
morning & 7.5mg at dinner. My sugars are still really
high in the afternoons & evenings & my Dr told me not
to rule out insulin as a next step. I am hoping to
control it with diet & exercise, but the exercise is not
really an opiton at this time. I have been very ill for
almost 21/2 yrs. with a bad crohns flare. The Dr tells
me that the diabetes is drug induced, from the
steriod use to control my crohns. Sorry to run on, but
just passing a little info out regarding my health.
Hope to get to meet you all soon, do you have a
regular chat, if so, when, thanks for listening, Mary

It was in the low 20’s here last night so nothing

Intrinsic factor is produced by parietal cells which line
the stomach. The B12-intrinsic factor complex then
