Yahoo! News - Diabetes Diagnosis in Child Traumatic for Parents: "Many parents struggle emotionally with the news that a child has diabetes"

The article goes on to say "most parents are very shocked by the fact that changes have to be made to their child's life straight away." The article doesn't mention whether these parents in question are actual morons or whether non-news is now, in fact, news.

Today's news that vexes is brought to us by Dr. Lesley Lowes of Cardiff University. Send Dr. Lowes mail ! Lowes@cardiff.ac.uk

One last shocker: "Parents also worry about the long-term effects the disease may have, she added. "

What will scientists enlighten us with next?
