I think: not sure but almost sure, that Type 1 is inherited/passed down through your family tree. If there is a family history of it, then you're more likely to get it. There is a way to 'manage' it, but there is no going back to change the problem. Once you have it, you have it. At least this is my understanding as my great-grandmother died from it at the age of 35 yo.
Type 2 is a lifestyle problem with being Overweight as the number 1 cause. Usually controlling your weight from eating too much sugars, starches and carbs usually control or rid you of the problem. Which means all the potato chips, snack cakes and cookies, ice cream, soda pop, potatoes cooked in any fashion, a lot of beans, breads, pastas and such should be cut out, cut down and/or eaten only occasionally or a spoonful during a more meat and veggies setting. I find that if you fill your plate full of mainly green and colorful veggies along with a meat, you are full and need none of the starches listed above. However, once a craving hits, just eat a small portion to satiate your craving and push yourself away from the table.
The demographics for type 1 don't match an inherited disease. It's strongly correlated to certain TB vaccines. Also, there are many cases of type 1 occurring in clusters, i.e. many cases in one preschool over a short period of time for example. The CDC doesn't track T1D in a way that those incidences can be easily tracked. There are also many reports of diabetic people's pets getting T1D. Doctors won't admit transmission, but not sure how else to explain it, because it happens. I know enough to be certain that the inherited gene theory is wrong, even though I can't say definitively what the cause is, or multiple causes are.
Interesting. Wonder if it’s related to parasites and transmission
