Hi I know diabetes type 1 is not genetic or contagious but I was wondering if pancreatis could give you diabetes or anything else such as giving your body to much sugar so the insulin cannot keep up and works so vigorously, the beta cells get worn out. Any help would be appreciated! I was just curious!
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the body is attacking itself. In this case, the body is destroying its own beta cells, which are the cells that help produce insulin. It usually develops in younger people, usually under the age of 15 or 20. You can’t give yourself type 1 diabetes, and you can’t do anything to avoid getting it.
People can increase their chances of developing type 2 by not exercising, having bad eating habits, or taking certain prescription medications like the steroid Prednisone for long periods of time. Untreated pancreatitis can also increase the chances of developing type 2, and in some cases, directly cause its onset.
There’s a theory floating around that giving yourself just a little bit of insulin everyday for a long period of time can cause your body to slowly stop producing its own and become dependent on the outside source. This could cause diabetes, but it’s only an idea as far as I know. No one in their right mind would be dumb enough to test it because too much insulin is dangerous, low blood sugar sucks, and there’s no guide as to the "safe" level for outside Insulin in non diabetics.
Hope this at least partly satisfied your curiosity!
Diabeetus like Nick Jonas?

You can give yourself Type II diabetes by eating wrong, being overweight, and not getting any exercise. Type I is an autoimmune disease, you can’t give yourself type I.

Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with eating too much sugar. It happens when your immune system destroys the cells that produce insulin. It has a complicated set of causes, including genetic propensity.

i want to clear something…"nobody GIVES themselves diabetes." Stress is sometimes caused by this…also vaccinations, but i dont want to get into that. Pancreas doesn’t hate anyone and say "ooop i hate you ill kill myself." no, pancreas trys and struggles to save himself, but it fails and you become insulin dependent.
