[QUOTE="MickyFinn, post: 1221753, member: 280643"] Too little is known about the causes for most illnesses, not just diabetes. As Tinyfilosofa says, type 1 doesn't just require the recessive genetics, but also a trigger for it, and that's where the picture becomes less clear, other than in a lot of cases it being a virus that triggers a faulty immune response which attacks the pancreas. I also have Crohn's Disease, and no one fully knows all the causes of that either. Genetics are thought to play a huge part in it, in that if you have family history of it, you are far more likely to get it, although a TB like bacteria called MAP is thought to be one of the major causes. While it can run in families, however, I'm the first in my family to get that as well as type 1. There is simply not just one set of circumstances and that's what has made it so hard to build an entire picture of it. [/QUOTE]
