I just wanted to put out there to the followers of this page a question. My question is, did anyone who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, get their diagnosis after a traumatic event, or did a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder happen before the onset of type 1 diabetes????
I ask because myself who was diagnosed with PTSD at the age of 26 after tours of Afghanistan, then was diagnosed with type 1 shortly after. I'm trying to see if there is a connection.
Any experience or advice would be greatfull
My father had Type 1 and he feels he got it after serving in the middle east as a fighter pilot - lots of stress on the body - not much protection or understanding in those days - 1950's.I just wanted to put out there to the followers of this page a question.

I agree. I apparently had Type 1 in a very mild almost latent form, but after 3 months of extreme financial stress I was so ill I was rushed to hospital and was diagnosed Type 1I just wanted to put out there to the followers of this page a question.

Hi, I was diagnosed 7 years ago when I was 12 weeks pregnant, my consultant said that I was more than likely to get type 1 diabetes but the strain of being pregnant (with twins) probably bought it on sooner? So in my case it's more a case of stress on the body.I just wanted to put out there to the followers of this page a question.

At the age of 64 I was diagnosed in February this year, type1. For over a year had been very worried and involved in caring for a very ill close family member. So I would say that for me it is possible that it was a factor in me developing type 1 diabetes. However I have vitiligo and an underactive thyroid which I now know are two other autoimmune conditions that are often found together with type 1 diabetes!! So having those would have made me more likely to develop type 1 diabetes.I just wanted to put out there to the followers of this page a question.
