i am a mother of a son with diabetes who got it at age 9 and now he is 16 1/2 but i make shidduchim and its really not an issue. i know quite a few boys, excellent boys who got top rate girls regardless of their diabetes. the problem is like jphone said ther is so much ignorance about diabetes that people assume the worst and think all sorts of things which is not true. maybe if people got educated like articles in the yated and hamodea and dr should give speeches in shul regarding this subject it might help. for example maybe for 10 min before mincha a dr who really knows the facts can get up by the bima and explain what diabetes is and people can then ask questions about their doubts. its just a suggestion.
