by littlebopeep1 in Diabetes Type 2 Support Group "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." |
