[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 731110, member: 30007"] Again, based on the discussion with the consultant (who I appreciate has more knowledge of the research into this than I do, or may be publicly available), he was saying autoimmune, regardless of how it occurs, seems to have a trigger to kick it off. Likewise, type 2 also has a trigger. The result of the trigger is either destruction of the insulin producing cells or a restriction in theability to produce insulin. He said that there are a number of clear genetic markers that suggest a pre-disposition to type 2, and a few far less clear ones for type 1. In both cases, his opinion was that if you can work out what the trigger is (which nobody has a clule about at the moment, you can stop diabetes from ever occurring. This seems to be the basis for some significant and funded research as well, given the publication in 2013 in Balance of the initial trials of a "Diabetes Vaccine". I appreciate that this is only one consultant's point of view, but he demonstrated exceptional ability in his graduation class and has been presented with a number of awards so I think it's worth airing.
