Question:

From America On-Line:

Concerning the onset of diabetes in children -- what would the insult be?

Answer:

Good question: knowledge of the insult is worth a Nobel Prize. Is it a virus, one or many; is it environmental, toxin or other substance? We do know most with type 1 diabetes have a genetic predisposition to develop diabetes; others seem to be protected.
