My son is 13 years old and has insulin dependent diabetes. His doctor says he has a knee virus. Please explain there is no such thing as a "knee virus". was your sone just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. There are theories that a viral infection can preceed the onset of type 1 diabetes - but there is no "knee virus" out there. You could have diabetes, and have some viral synovitis, or inflamation of the knee joint - I'm not sure but many forms of diabetes hinder the body's ability to ward off infection. Also, most diabetics heal slower... insulin has some relationship to metabolism. If your son is active in sports he may need to focus on those activities that don't put a lot of stress on the knees. |
