I have a question about type 1 diabetes in a child. I've listened to almost every podcast, and you often say the body doesn't make mistakes and talk about other autoimmune diseases, but I haven't heard much about type 1. I might be crazy to think it could be reversed, but I can't help but think back to my kiddo's first few years of life. He was put on PPIs and had a surgery around 9 months that involved large amounts of antibiotics. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 3, and he is now 6. What are your thoughts around type 1 diabetes and whether it can be reversed? Where would I start? Nothing I find on the internet gives me hope, but I believe in our bodies' ability to heal.
I am curious if you know anything that the masses may not about this condition. I never truly understood why I became diabetic, and neither did the doctors. I know the general explanation of why and how it happens, but there has never been a root cause explanation. I am 22 now and doing great living as a diabetic with excellent sugar and A1C levels, but I'm always interested to know and learn more.
Do you think some of that is just because your husband had type one and they were just thinking like, well, they must know what to do?
