We had a foster child in 1977 was a five year old who weighed less than 20 
pounds and wore 12-18 month size clothes. He was very active, walked and talked 
and if he had remained with us, I would have started him in a regular 
kindergarten. He drank water all the time and peed all the time. We took him to 
the 
Universidty Hospital and they discovered he had diabetes incipitus. His 
biological mother had kept him alive and healthy with no medications. His long 
term 
prognosis was unknown, since they tried experimental medications for him and 
and 
they were not effective. His mother took him back to Mexico and we never 
heard from her again.
