I wouldn't. First, it's not good to challenge the teacher in this type of setting. I may have voice my opinion in private, or at least asked for her sources....but again, in private. (of course, in my case I'd also state that I was a RN and noted this is not exactly accurate)
I definitly would talk to my child after and informed them that there are many theoreys about what causes diabetes and let him/her know that I thought the teacher was dead wrong in believing this theorey!
