H1N1 and Type 1 Diabetes

Ask your doctor to provide the results of randomised controlled trials confirming that the ratio of benefits to risks of flu vaccine in the case of a diabetic child is positive. This sort of trial is considered the only valuable one to evaluate the effects of any medical intervention, particularly the use of drugs. Since this research has not been done regarding flu vaccine the doctor should answer ’We do not know’. As long as one cannot answer your questions with scientific data, we are in the realm of  opinions. You should therefore feel free to follow your intuition.
