Type 1 is an autoimmune condition, most often diagnosed in childhood. Diet and lifestyle obviously are important there too, but it can’t prevent it.

Exactly, totally different disease. Autoimmune attack on the beta cells of the pancreas, that produce insulin.

With the technology available, diet isn't any more of an issue for type 1's than anyone else.
