Aims: Caregiver diabetes distress (DD) consists of feeling overwhelmed, sad, and/or concerned; one-third of parents of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) report severe distress up to 4 years after T1D diagnosis.

Objective: Immediate type I, type III, and delayed type IV hypersensitivity reactions to insulin are rare, but potentially serious complications of exogenous insulin administration required for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Results: Insulin hypersensitivity reactions included types I, III, and IV with presentations ranging from localized urticaria, erythematous nodules, and eczematous plaques to anaphylaxis with respiratory distress.
