I am a diabetic, diagnosed some twelve years ago. With good quality information (like the ones you will find on this site) on healthy eating, alternative medicine, natural healing, raw diet, exercise, etc. and a determination to beat this disease, I have been able to completely reverse my diabetes now. It's certainly not rocket science and if I can do it, I am sure you can achieve the same results if only you are prepared to give it a good go!

Diabetes is not caused by microbes, although serious diseases may affect your blood sugar.
Diabetes is caused by malfunctions of certain cells in your pancrease, as well as a slow tolerance to insulin that comes from obesity.
Diabetes is hereditary, but you may not acquire it if your parents or siblings have it.
Type I diabetes, also known as insulin dependant diabetes, is often diagnosed early in life.
Type II diabetes, often called adult onset diabetes, is often treated with oral medications, or a combination of diet and execise.

Microbes definately do not cause type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is the type of diabetes that typically develops in children and young adults. In Type 1 diabetes the body stops making insulin and the blood glucose level goes very high.
This is also known as juvenile, early onset, or insulin dependent diabetes. It usually first develops in children or young adults.
With Type 1 diabetes the illness usually develops quite quickly, over days or weeks, as the pancreas stops making insulin. It is treated with insulin injections and a healthy diet.
In most cases, Type 1 diabetes is thought to be an ‘auto-immune’ disease. The immune system normally makes antibodies to attack bacteria, viruses, and other ‘germs’. In auto-immune diseases the immune system makes antibodies against part or parts of the body. If you have Type 1 diabetes you make antibodies that attach to the beta cells in the pancreas. These are thought to destroy the cells that make insulin. It is thought that something triggers the immune system to make these antibodies. The ‘trigger’ is not known but a popular theory is that a virus triggers the immune system to make these antibodies.
Rarely, Type 1 diabetes is due to other causes. For example, severe inflammation of the pancreas, or surgical removal of the pancreas for various reasons.
Please speak with your school nurse (if you have one) or your doctor at your next check up. You deserve to know more about diabetes.

Diabetes is not caused by microbes. It is not an “illness” in the sense that an infection is involved, like the cold or flu. Diabetes, Type 1 or Type 2, is not communicable — that is, it cannot be “caught” from another person.
The current “best and brightest” thinking is that Type 1 Diabetes is an auto-immune disease. That means that your own body thinks that your pancreas is an “invader”, like a transplanted organ, and your body tried to kill the pancreas by digesting it.
In some cases, diabetes is inherited. if your m other, father, grandmother, or grandfather have it, you are more likely to get it.

Unfortunately, dear lady, your science teacher is mistaken. S/he probably got his/her information from reading some of the responses that are often provided here on Yahoo! Answers. There’s so much wrong … and inappropriate information offered by some … who sometimes claim that they are professionally qualified … that it beggars belief.
If scientists actually knew the facts of what causes type 1 diabetes they’d be well on the way to developing some sort of vaccine by now. Unfortunately, there are several theories on what causes it. It is, as I’m sure you know, an autoimmune disorder, where the beta cells (Islets of Langerhans) of the pancreas are attacked by your own immune system, as it sees these beta cells as some type of ‘invader’ or threat.
I’m afraid that current understanding is such that you will NOT find anything about microbes and their relation to diabetes no matter how hard you search.
Be well, young lady.

Diabetes is not caused by microbes. There are two types of diabetes:
Type 1 which is when the kidney stops producing insulin, and this can be treated by taking insulin (by shots or pump), and sticking to a diet.
Type 2 is when th kidney doesn’t produce enough insulin, can be treated by taking pills and sticking to a diet (some type 2 cases require taking insulin)
Hope I Helped =D
