[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 44431, member: 12578"] As Stu says, we don't know what causes Type 1. There is a gene that seems to predispose but the majority of people with that gene do not get type 1. There is something (or a mixture of things that triggers it) For every study that says that there is an association with the early introduction of cows milk ( or of infant formula) another says its not so. There are babies that diagnosed whilst still exclusively breast feeding.Certain viruses are frequently suggested as a possible trigger, there is a lot of research going on at present into this. It may be that there are several slighlty different forms of type 1 with different triggers I got type 1 at 53 so I doubt very much that it had anything to do with how I was fed as a baby . Whats certain is that as we don't know what caused it, there was nothing you could have done to prevent yourself developing it. Once you've learnt how to control your BG levels there is very little that you can't do with type 1. I'm going skiing tomorrow and apart from testing my BG levels and making sure that I've got some glucose with me on the slopes, there won't be much difference to skiing pre diabetes. (except for being a bit older :wink: ) [/QUOTE]
