with type 1 diabetes, the symptoms come on rapidly. if you have been pissing excessively, and by excessively, i mean three times and hour twenty four hours a day, then yeah, i'd be worried. i got type 1 diabetes when i was 12, so no, you don't get it at birth. environmental factors cause type 1 diabetes. eating healthy and exercising obviously doesn't prevent type 1 diabetes.
