I am not a doctor but both my kids are T1D so I am quite familiar with it. This part stood out to me; > In most people with type 1 diabetes, the body’s immune cells start destroying β-cells — which are responsible for producing the hormone insulin — in the pancreas, often suddenly. In Gnadt’s case, Hollstein suspected that the virus had destroyed his β-cells, because his blood didn’t contain the types of immune cells that typically damage the pancreatic islets where the β-cells live. If the virus damages the islets it could suppress insulin production, but without an autoimmune response there’s reason to be hopeful that the damage is only temporary and that the pancreas can recover. TFA says that whether the virus directly attacks cells or induces an immune response, and whether the damage is permanent or not, are both areas under active investigation.
