What triggers type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, which means the body's immune system mistakes it's own cells as a threat and attacks them. In people with type 1 diabetes the immune system attacks the pancreas, the organ that makes insulin (the hormone that allows sugar to be used by the body). The cause of this reaction remains somewhat of a mystery. Most people aren't born with type 1 diabetes, but become one later on as a child. Some link in sickness as a child may trigger the disease, but the disease has shown to be genetic. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are two very different diseases that cause a similar outcome.
