Just diabetes type 1 but that’s all I know when I first met him in high school he was in a wheel chair to help him walk then he used a cane but he loves to walk and find mushrooms
Sounds good, thanks for the info! If he has blood sugar issues and gets lost without insulin, he could definitely become extremely confused. I'll keep my eye out, let us know if there is any official community searches happening though!
Hope he’s found safe
I hope he’s found and safe
