Type 1 can develop at any point in your life
Wow didn't know that, thought it's from birth. Thanks for the info.
It's caused by your immune system getting a little too excited to kill some cold or flu and taking out your pancreas in the collateral damage.
I appreciate that description. This is the kind of shit that comes to mind every time I hear someone claim "you should consume ________ to boost your immune system!" Like, if we could so easily increase it's activity, this is the shit we'd be setting ourselves up for.
On a total side note, I sent this meme to my Type 1 diabetic fiancée and she only responded with "wtf is wrong with you"
lmao
