We are studying the role of viruses in causing type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes. By following babies from birth, we can see whether early signs of damage to the body's insulin producing cells results from infection with particular viruses. We will study the genes and other features of these viruses to help us understand why they cause diabetes, and how they relate to other factors such as diet and vitamin D. The results may provide valuable information for the future prevention of diabetes.

我们正在研究病毒在引起1型（胰岛素依赖型）糖尿病中的作用。通过对婴儿出生后的跟踪，我们可以看到身体胰岛素产生细胞受损的早期迹象是否是由特定病毒感染引起的。我们将研究这些病毒的基因和其他特征，以帮助我们了解它们为什么会引起糖尿病，以及它们与饮食和维生素D等其他因素的关系。本研究结果可为今后糖尿病的预防提供有价值的信息。
