| This really pisses me off. My friend just had his daughter diagnosed type 1. I believe it was caused by accutane. Yes, it is admitted that accutane can result in type 1 diabetes as a complication. Do Drs. warn their patients appropriately? No. Do they even consider that some patients are at increased risk? No.
After a drug is approved there is very little responsible questioning of these sorts of side effects. It is a very sad day when the medical establishment prescribes accutane to teens to control acne full well knowing that it will leave a significant number of patients with Type 1 diabetes.
