I’m the OP. I hope you become a US citizen just in case you need it (not just holding a green card). I agree with your assessment. I also have T1D. My neurologists and endocrinologists (I have 2 of each) are pretty sure one of my (very rare) neuro diseases caused the autoimmunity leading to the T1D diagnosis. The disease I have was discovered in the early 2000s at the Mayo Clinic off of NIH research grant funds. Call me crazy, but the only reason I do not renounce my US citizenship is because the US literally saved my life and others around the world via the NIH funded research discovery.
