[QUOTE="oldgreymare, post: 560456, member: 20373"] Sorry I wasn't clear. Obesity won't cause Type 1 which is an autoimmune disease. But obesity may make Type 1 harder to manage by increasing insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is generally considered bad and is also a characteristic of metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes (Type 2). In fact to the degree that obesity may be associated with increased levels of inflammation, it may make numerous autoimmune conditions worse. But I am not aware of any evidence that obesity on its own causes Type 1. [/QUOTE]
