Type 1 diabetes can't be cured or prevented with a healthy lifestile, with type 2 diabetes you can, however. You can say type 1 is genetic and type 2 is developed by aging or a non-healthy lifestyle.

Best of luck to you Katie. My little sister's type 1 broke loose when she was 6 years old and had it for three years now, so I know what a disaster type 1 is and I can barely imagine how it is when your body doesn't want the insulin. My parents and my sister regularly has to hear that she "should've been healthier" because of the global ignorance in diabetes where practically everyone mix up type 1 and type 2. I know there's a medicine that prevents your body from attacking new body parts such as a transplanted kidney. Maybe that could prevent the body from attacking the insulin too? Just a thought.
