I have not heard that theory. Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that usually hits before age 20 and very very often before age 10. Not sure how eating sugar or fast food would cause your body's immune system to view the insulin-producing beta cells in your pancreas as the enemy, and kill them off. Possible, I guess, but I don't think my daughter was abusing fast food and sugar, and she got plenty of exercise. Diabetes staff we talked to in the hospital said 'they' think it's like a ticking time bomb someone is born with. They said they can look at the recent history of most new patients and find a very stressful event like divorce, finals week, broken bone, other injury. My daughter's was a broken bone.
