diagnosed before age thirty were attributed to "acute or chronic complications of diabetes" (Feltbower, Bodansky, Patterson, et. al., 2008). While death rates were considerably higher (4.6 as compared to
1.71) for individuals aged fifteen to twenty-nine years of age suffering from this condition, death rates for those aged zero to fourteen was still excessive (Feltbower, Bodansky, Patterson, et. al.,
