I always wondered if my excessive sugar intake contributed to my Diabetes 1. In my teens, I ate 2 candy bars & a pop for lunch every day at school lunch.

No, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease (at least that’s what the experts say for now!). For some reason, possibly the result of a virus, your body attacked your own beta cells that produce insulin.

Personally, I don’t think anyone should be blamed for having a disease even if what he or she did or didn’t do contributed. We are all frail human beings with weakness. Socialism is what causes people to turn on one another, because we all feel we are paying other people’s bills. No room left for mercy or compassion.

There are babies still on pure breast milk who get the autoimmune disease. It’s not your fault.
