Type 1 Caused by lifestyle?

[catapillar]

In the original post the user asks if 'poor lifestyle' could be a cause of developing type 1, I assumed that meant 'unhealthy' because he mentions obesity and drinking to much.

My reply was in response to the original question asked.

Well, why didn't you do a detailed reading of 3 pages of posts first?! Haha. Sorry

I reckon the idea that lifestyle could play a role is unnecessarily controversial because some of the reporting misrepresented the hypothesis of the study & that is reflected by the first post. Here's the press release from Exeter, for info - http://www.exeter.ac.uk/news/featurednews/title_506628_en.html - but, TLDR: they don't think we are type 1 because we ate too much sugar etc.

I'll get back in me box
