I am diabetic. It was an adult-onset type 1. It's an auto-immune attack on my pancreas's beta cells that make my insulin. So I lost the ability to make the insulin. Now, I have an insulin pump that gives me insulin around the clock. I think it's due to the chronic viropathy in my pancreas leftover from being born with the rubella virus. Who knows.
Thanks for this!
