Question: From Gary, Indiana, USA:
My five year old daughter just developed type 1 diabetes. From the time she started eating regular food, she just ate carbohydrates (like rice, noodles, cheese, bread, a lot of milk, etc.) Can this have caused the type 1 diabetes?
Answer:
No, I don't think so. Type 1A diabetes is an autoimmune disease, and we still don't know the etiologic factors. Sugar is not among them for sure.
