What Causes Diabetes

First of all you need to have the genes for diabetes, and there has to be something to trigger it. Foir many people who develope diabetes 2 the tirgger is being overwieght and not getting the propper amount of exercise. Stress can be a trigger also. This sometimes happen during pregnancy.

For children with type 1 (juvenile diabetes), a virus may have confused the immune system into identifying the beta cells in the pancreas as parat of the virus, and so the immune system destroyed the beta cells and stopped the production of insulin.
