Question for any parent of a Toddler with T1

I wanted to ping the parents of children with T1 to find out if any of your T1 toddlers ALSO had an Umbilical Hernia at birth? I am asking because, our 2 year old was and my wife believes strongly (she said she read somewhere) that they’re somehow linked. Would be interesting to find out if other T1 toddler parents experienced the same thing.

Again, not a parent of a toddler but…

I have not seen anything linking umbilical hernia to T1D. I have read umbilical hernias are fairly common in infants with transient neonatal diabetes.
