A major diagnosis that is going to affect you for the rest of your life frequently causes depression - both at the time of diagnosis and throughout your life due to dealing with the constant monitoring and care that type 1 diabetes requires. I recently read a nursing journal article that young females with type one diabetes are at higher risk for anorexia nervosa due to the strict adherence of a 'diabetic diet' and it discussed insulin omission with this. I haven't heard about the dementia one though - hope you're not right there!<br><b>References : </b><br>Type 1 for 5 years Even though type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, I guess quality of life could be decreased in some people who have it.

Being a sad or happy person won't effect you either way or raise your chances, the risk of getting Type 1 depends on genetics and possibly (its still controversial) your environment. Also, its an auto-immune disease, in case that helps.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, Type 1 Diabetes is a physical disease, not a mental/emotional one like Depression, eating disorders and dementia.
