How is it that one son was diagnosed at 16 months and the other son didn't develop type 1 until he was 20 years old!!?(20 yr old dx 9/27/09)

The likelihood of an autoimmune attack on the pancreas was present in both from birth. The age difference at diagnosis is likely due to when each boy was exposed to the environmental stress (virus, toxin, etc...) that triggered the autoimmune response.
