Does it make you die faster?My grandpa has active tb and is visiting from one of those 3rd world countries, and my dad has diabetes. Because of my dads diabetes, he has a greater chance of getting tb. I dont want my dad to get it because I want my dad to live long.We received a letter from the health department saying that he has active but not contagious TB. Weve been trying to contact the number on the paper and leaving messages, but theyre not responding. He doesnt have insurance so I dont know what hospital will accept him.
