Type one there’s damage your pancreas you make very little or no insulin so to be what we call an auto immune body attacking itself disease. Actually, there is some data that it’s triggered in children drinking cow’s milk and that since there’s protein in cow’s milk that aren’t human proteins they are theoretically could be an antibody created recognizing as a foreign substance and that then antibody might what we call cross-react with the pancreas and destroy the pancreas little cells that make insulin, platelets cells. That’s scary enough to say I’m not going to drink cow’s milk and not give it to children but there is that other 95% of diabetes we call diabetes type 2, which is our cells don’t handle insulin well and insulin opens the door to let blood sugar in so instance not doing its job blood sugar can’t go in, it stays in the bloodstream.
