I have Type 1 Diabetes and also have Phenylketonuria (PKU). Is there any one in the U.S. that has both.?


I'm looking for anyone that is in the U.S. that has both of these two diseases at the same time?

Despite the answer given by mathwiz, who apparently has no clue the odds of contracting PKU, the number is definitely NOT hundreds of thousands, as there are likely not that many PKU sufferers in the entire world! Combine that with the probability of contracting type I diabetes (I know nothing about this one), and the odds get much, much slimmer. Crunch those numbers, mathwiz. Considering these odds, I would buy a lottery ticket.

other than you obviously there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands with both conditions
