MDJunction to me

saralaurie"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

Type 1

In type1 diabetes the cells in the pancreas that make insulin are destroyed, causing a severe lack of insulin. This is thought to be the result of the body attacking and destroying its own cells in the pancreas- known as an autoimmune reaction.

It's not clear in why this happens, but a number of explanations and possible triggers have been proposed. These include:

1. infection with a specific virus or bacteria

2. exposure as a very young infant to cow's milk, where an as yet unidentified component triggers the autoimmune reaction."
