How can u get diabetes type 1?

Actually yaar, Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with lifestyle or eating too much sugar. It is an autoimmune thing where your pancreas just stops making insulin, and it usually gets diagnosed in childhood or when you are young. Definitely consult a specialist because it requires daily insulin management.

I agree with the others, it is purely genetic and autoimmune, not caused by lifestyle. Please get a proper c-peptide test done by a doctor to confirm.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, often triggered by genetic factors. It is entirely different from Type 2 diabetes and cannot be prevented through diet changes alone. It is critical to work closely with an endocrinologist to manage this condition safely.

I am quite new to this and trying to learn for a family member who was recently diagnosed. Since it is autoimmune, does it mean it cannot be cured completely and always needs insulin shots? I would be really grateful if anyone could share how they manage this daily under their doctor's guidance.

I can only share what happened in my cousin's case when he was diagnosed with Type 1 at age fifteen. The doctors told us it was an autoimmune reaction, and he has been on daily insulin therapy ever since. He lives a very normal, active life now, but regular follow-ups with his endocrinologist are key.
