[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2468243, member: 365308"] The thing is ANY virus can trigger an autoimmune response so the Rona doesn't have unique properties there. The mechanism is that cytakine storm post the active infection in which your body unhelpfully goes into immune overdrive. I don't think it is known why your pancreatic beta cells get targeted hence why we're nowhere near a way to prevent type 1. Low vitamin D may be involved as T1 rates are higher in Nordic countries. You may have had covid and of course everyone is hyper aware of sequala from this infection. What's unfortunate to me is that you may not have had the usual support from the NHS etc. (face to face consultations, access to education courses) which I think is the most important thing going forward...
