[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 562739, member: 102150"] The NHS supports both Type 1 and Type 2 and spends a lot more per patient on Type 1 because it's harder to treat. There are very roughly more than ten times as many T2 as T1 and while both are increasing, T2 is increasing much much faster and so is more of a public health worry / priority. Diabetes UK fundraises for both types and the JDRF fundraises for Type 1. Both charities focus on the areas the NHS does not, mainly in extended and improving possibilities for treatment, rather than just delivering treatment. No one really knows what causes autoimmune Type 1. There are theories but nothing proven. It may well have lots of different causes, with the autoimmune response being the only common factor.
