I see a lot of veterans who have both Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and diabetes. I have heard from other counselors, that adrenaline caused by the startle reflex, nightmares, and other stressors due to PTSD can damage your liver and pancreas after years of repeated symptoms. This in turn causes diabetes. I like to base evidence with research, but I cannot find anything that supports this claim. Does anyone know of any evidence that would either support or refute this claim?

Chelsie P asked:


I am 14 and I am training to be able to run all the way across the continental US in hopes to set a record and at the same time be able to raise much needed money for the research and hope for a cure for type 1 diabetes, which I have and is on the rise, rapidly. I don’t know where to begin to get this cause started and actually make it worth something. I am hoping for huge contributions to this cause. How should I begin?

guts_spunk_moxie asked:


I have diabetes (newly diagnosed, but apparently I have had it fo a while and didn’t know it according to my doctor) and my hair keeps falling out near the crown and in the back, causing thin spots.
Someone told me that this can be a symptomatic cause from having diabetes. Is this true and if so; why?
