[QUOTE="Dixon1995, post: 1875097, member: 487884"] Hi all, please take this with a pinch of salt, I am just opening a conversation about the possibilities of what might cause the disease, below is just what Ive thought while sat thinking about random things. New thought. Could the Hypothalamus and extending to that, Pituitary gland; be responsible for triggering the bodies autoimmune response to the onset of Type 1 Diabetes. My theory is that your DNA contains an error which is passed down in your families genes and impacts the hypothalmic region of the brain at a level not understood by humans. This can lead to not only this autoimmune disease, but many others. The age in which type 1 diabetes is switched on, is embedded in your genetics, but perhaps environmental factors or infections do bring it on quicker somehow, just like how someone who smokes and has a genetic disposition to developing certain cancers will probably develop it quicker than someone who doesn't smoke and has the same disposition. We know type 1 diabetes could possibly be caused by environmental factors or infection triggering an autoimmunity. This is just a thought towards something else going on. The Hypothalamus controls the release of hormones in the body, with Insulin being a major hormone needed for survival, maybe somewhere there is a crosswire there which causes the onset of type 1 diabetes. I am not science orientated at all, and only thought of this while sat bored thinking about it, are there any biologists on here who can have their input? What do you think causes type 1 diabetes, I am sure no one knows 100% what causes Diabetes, and many autoimmune diseases. Thanks for reading my ramblings guys Dan [/QUOTE]
