I lost my best friend to sudden death in 2010. He was healthy and had no conditions, 24 years old, autopsy showed nothing - it was just lights out. My diet was **** as depression hit me full force, and I got my prediabetic warnings in 2012 when I was hospitalized for something unrelated and had a high fasting value. Maybe that event was what triggered the onset of my diabetes? I was 22 at the time of his death and got the official LADA label in 2014 at 26.My husbands cousin witnessed a multuple murder when he was a boy and developed type 1 from the shock... this is what they were told by doctors too.
It's interesting to hear from so many people that their diagnosis was preceeded by some sort of traumatic experience. Correlation doesn't have to be causation of course. I wonder if there are any studies done on this?
