Hi and welcome to the board. I hope you are able to find your way back here again and I will answer your email also. I don't know anything about this form of epilepsy and so I am going to be doing some research before I answer your question. To my small memory this is the first time that someone has mentioned this type of epilepsy. But we do know a lot of folks with type1 diabetes around here. We are here to celebrate success, lament failures and we all have then and to give gentle shoves when necessary. So please feel free to come here anytime for love and support.


So next I will hit my refernece books and I hope that you will look at the Joslin site and the American Diabetes site for more information also.


A gentle hug,

Mary Frances

Hi Mum, and welcome -


I don't know much about epilepsy, either, but I am one of the type 1s that wanders about here on the board.
