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.
