FW: diet for type 1 diabetics

[Guest guest]

Here is the response I received from Barry Groves.

Re: diet for type 1 diabetics

Dear

Maternal diet is only one factor that may increase risk of diabetes. It

isn't necessarily the only cause. Autoimmunity is usually the cause of

Type-1. The question then is, what caused the autoimmune reaction. And in

most cases it seems to be cereal grains.

diet for type 1 diabetics

I read your article about type 1 diabetics. I differ with you

immensely.

I have been a type 1 diabetic since he age of 22 months old

(diagnosed at The Cleveland Clinic in October 1944). My mother was a slim

(and at age 85 still is) woman and there was no history of diabetes of any

type on either side of my family.

I have worked with diabetics for years and years as an educator. I

have seen families where there have been as many as 3 siblings and a mother

with type 1 and I have seen other, who likes me, had no history of diabetes

in their family.

I think the study you wrote about in the article was so limited that

any suppositions are not reliable.

I really think that blaming the mother for having a type 1 diabetic

is not correct at all.

Science apparently does not know why the immune response to the

Isles of Langerhans happens yet.
