The TEDDY study (make a Google) hypothesized that there are “triggers” that cause a child with high-risk genes for type 1 diabetes to actually get type 1, based on the observation that not all children who are at higher risk develop the disease.

 

The trial enrolled nearly 8,000 participants.

that these two factors that are NOT triggers of type 1 onset:

 

childhood infections and

maternal use of vitamin D and

omega-3 supplements.
