Lazy Lifestyle, Triggering Type 1 Diabetes?

Admittedly, I have always linked sedentary lifestyles to type 2 diabetes. However, Australian researchers are saying that sedentary lifestyles could have triggered the rise of type 1 diabetes in low-risk children.

A jump in the number of 'lower-risk' children being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, has contributed to a doubling in the number of cases over the past 20 years, say Australian researchers.

Endocrinologist Dr Spiros Fourlanos from the Royal Melbourne Hospital and his colleagues report their findings in Diabetes Care, which suggests environmental factors, such as sedentary lifestyle, may be the cause.
