Q: Adderall & Diabetes

My son is in the 6th grad now. He started taking Adderall when he was in the 2nd Grade. When summer came we decided to take him off of adderall and see if he could manage his ADHD on his on. He done pretty good but ate us out of house and home. LOL!!! He started school in August and was doing well not taking the adderall. In November He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. My question is Could Adderall have caused his diabetes? No one in my or my wife's family has Type 1 diabetes. It seems strange that he had no problems with his blood sugar levels before and now a few months after not taking Adderall he does. I'm confused. I read an artical online that In Canada that the FDA pulled Adderal from the market because of deaths, Strokes and cause of diabetes in children. I'm not sure what to think. Please help!!!! Thanks in advance for your Anwser, Suggestions, and advise.

Diabetes management
Adderall can be one of the reasons for diabetes in your son. Main reason for diabetes is still undiscovered, but according to doctors, main reason for diabetes is family history. My elder brother is a diabetic. He lives a well disciplined life with the help of One Touch Ultra2 Blood Glucose Meter. This device helps him to manage his sugar level in the blood. I got this blood glucose meter from chemistdirect.co.uk for my brother. This site really offers a great discount on their products.
