[QUOTE="azure, post: 1352117, member: 39639"] Type 1 [I]is[/I] the auto immune condition. The cause is currently unknown. Something in the environment causes the body to attack those specific cells in the pancreas. Possible culprits have been studied, including cow's milk (particularly to replace breast milk) wheat, various viruses, etc, but no one is sure about what starts the auto immune attack off. In adults, Type 1 often develops more slowly, so the 'trigger' could have been years back, and then the insulin producing cells are gradually killed off and Type 1 develops. [/QUOTE]
