[QUOTE="NadineV, post: 1626402, member: 454589"] Thanks for your response. It is shock for our family as well. I went on a trip with my son over weekend and I noticed he was drinking extensive amount of water. On our way back, while in the car I noticed acidic smell. Took him to A&E and his blood sugar was over 32! Of course I still did not accept his diagnoses and that's why I am asking if you got a pet recently. We got a dog and now I am blaming myself as I was reading about possible connection between possibility of viral infection triggering T1. ?? @[URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/jibran_khan.452979/']Jibran_Khan[/URL] my son was also eating healthy, doing sports, swimming, scouts, hurling at school, I think T1 is not lifestyle related> I know that people are saying it is auto-immune disease but is it? ".... researchers believe it is a 'wrong read' of the insulin gene itself that proves to be a major target of the immune system. This error product of the insulin gene is made when beta cells are stressed, Roep said." got it from here: [URL]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/03/170301085412.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
