[QUOTE="PaulinaB, post: 696078, member: 96654"] I think you're confusing being diagnosed with actually having t1. Even if you ate low carb your whole life, you'd still have t1 (ie your beta cells would still be degenerating) but your bg may be in a normal range due to a low level of insulin requirement (thanks to low carb). So you'd probably be diagnosed much later on - but you'd still had diabetes before that. Summarising, its not preventable (that we know of), but the rise in bg can, in some late onset cases, be delayed. This doesn't mean the disease can be delayed - just its implications. [/QUOTE]
