[QUOTE="Cobra3164, post: 322223, member: 50203"] From what I have learnt so far the majority of type 1 is genetic. As for myself it was lifestyle, approx 5 weeks ago I was admitted to hospital with pancreatitis the result of this being than nearly all of the beta cells in my pancreas were destroyed due to this illness. It was my fault I had been drinking moderate to high amounts of alcohol (Man I loved my beer). My GP explained to me that some peoples bodys are more vunerable to drink and therefore alcohol is more poisonus to them. Since my bout of pancreatitis I have given up drink altogether and had to reduce my fat intake. So in answer to the question the majority is genetic but sometimes it is self inflicted. All the best Simon aka Cobra3164 [/QUOTE]
