there is no such thing as a "knee virus". was your sone just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

I’m not sure but many forms of diabetes hinder the body’s ability to ward off infection. Also, most diabetics heal slower… insulin has some relationship to metabolism. If your son is active in sports he may need to focus on those activities that don’t put a lot of stress on the knees.
