[QUOTE="azure, post: 1242711, member: 39639"] Yes, that's not uncommon. Often a virus is the thing that pushes a failing pancreas into diabetes. I'd been feeling generally 'not right' for a while before I was diagnosed, but I only realised that in hindsight. At the time I assumed I'd done something or my body had suffered something to cause the Type 1, but my consultant explained that the pancreas can struggle on quite a while with limited islets until it has lost more than 80% of them - and then is no longer able to control the blood sugar. So the trigger can often be some way back, and then a final stress pushes the body into a diabetic state. [/QUOTE]
