[QUOTE="petrichor, post: 383910, member: 47177"] [b]Re: Did any of you type 1s have a virus before you got diabe[/b] Interesting stuff! I'm always asking people about their diagnosis story, always looking for a link! Over the years, I've come up with a few theories of my own , but I'm no expert. i lived down wind from a huge industrial tile factory (which pumped out horrid fumes - I can remember my mum shutting the windows because it was so bad). There were 3 kids with T1 that I knew of in our street, and various with T2 . I don't know about the figures now, as I moved when I was 11. That particular area also has a high incidence of suicides and extreme depression in under 30's, very creepy! I wasn't breast fed wither, but I don't know much about the research on that. I heard a radio broadcast on Radio 4 last year about T1's in the USA who were born with diabetes, who were being taken off their pumps and moved onto medication - successfully! It's worth looking up the podcast, as it's fascinating for anyone interested in the causes of diabetes. It seems that those born with it appear to have a type more similar to T2, and many are being taken off insulin! :clap: :D As for th ecoxsackie virus, I've heard that for a long time, along with many other viral triggers, but I couldn't help thinking you 'd just be more succeptable because your immune system was waylaid with all the Beta cell bashing! :wink: I found a paper that says the same thing, but I'm still not sure :eh: [url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10905477]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10905477[/url] In my family there were 3 juvenile diabetics.
