Foreword – It is to expect that the Discovery of the cause of Type 1 diabetes would sound unbelievable. However, a little patience in reading the contents of this page and looking at my research articles posted on my old website (Modern Science of Biomechanics) will give more insight into how I came to conclusions about the Biomechanism Underlying Type 1 Diabetes Development and Biomechanism Underlying Type 2 Diabetes Development.
Research content (research articles) into the cause of Type 1 diabetes
1) Breathing Biomechanics and Mechanical Stimulation of Internal Organs … (abstract) … The current view is that breathing (breathing biomechanics) only supplies air with oxygen to the body (inhaling) and expels air containing metabolic waste products (exhaling). … A few years ago, I realised that breathing (trunk expansion and contraction during breathing) also mechanically stimulates internal organs. And that one of the necessary conditions for optimal work of internal organs requires optimal mechanical stimulation. Most physical activities provide a specific mechanical stimulation to internal organs, but mechanical stimulation induced by breathing processes differs from mechanical stimulation caused by physical activities. Until now, I have identified seven types of mechanical stimulations that affect the human body. Still, the rest of this article will discuss just mechanical stimulation caused by the breathing process. … (Read the full text of the research article.)

Since the ribcage and the rest of the trunk alternately expand and shrink during breathing, breathing processes also mechanically stimulate internal organs.
Chest and trunk movement during inhalation and exhalation (expansion during inhalation and contraction during exaltation) mechanically stimulates internal organs. Internal organs are mechanically stimulated by decompressing during inhalation and compressing during exhalation.
Chest expansion, rib cage expansion, and lung expansion are frequently used, but it is not mentioned that the whole trunk expands during inhalation.
a) The inhalation process supplies the body with oxygen while also decompressing internal organs (the trunk’s cavities expand during inhalation).
b) The exhalation process deflates the lungs to expelling air containing metabolic waste products while at the same time compressing internal organs (the trunk’s cavities shrink).
Mechanical stimulation of internal organs consists of decompression during inhalation and compression during exhalation.
The study “Kinematic Analysis of the Musculoskeletal System Diabetic Type I” (published in 2018 by Atiyat, K., “Abdul Fattah”, O., & Zureigat, A. A. (2018) European Scientific Journal, ESJ, 14(15), 414. https://doi.org/10.19044/esj.2018.v14n15p414,) confirms my observational research findings of the differences between Type 1 diabetics and the general population concerning postural characteristics and musculoskeletal alignment published on my (old) website (modernscienceofbiomechanics.com) in 2013.
I didn’t find a single competitive athlete that was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a child. All competitive athletes with Type 1 diabetes get diagnosed as adults after participating in sports activities for a while. There may be a rare case of being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a teenager, but there is no case to be diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child of age between 3 and five and still later in life be a competitive athlete.
No one was born with Type 1 diabetes. Until recently, it primarily affected children aged 3 to 5 years old. Recently, it has started to affect all age groups and the incidence of type 1 diabetes in the adult population reaching epidemic proportions. It also needs to notice that certain world regions are more affected by the rising incidence of T1D.
“Recent epidemiological data have shown that more than half of all new cases of type 1 diabetes occur in adults.” … “Clinically, it has been relatively easy to distinguish the acute, potentially lethal, childhood-onset diabetes from the less aggressive condition that affects adults. However, experience has taught us that not all children with diabetes are insulin dependent and not all adults are non–insulin dependent.”

Breathing is a Biomechanical process. Faulty breathing biomechanics sooner or later will trigger some kind of destructive bioprocess.




Weight loss at the time of being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. In both Types of diabetes, people lose weight at the time of being diagnosed with diabetes. The difference is that people with Type 1 diabetes were mostly slim or average weight before diagnosis, but at the time of diagnosis, they experienced weight loss. The people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes were mainly overweight or obese before diagnosis with type 2 diabetes but, at the time of diagnosis, experience weight loss. At the time of diagnosis with Type 2 diabetes, obese people remain obese despite weight loss. They are less obese but still obese because the amount of weight loss is insufficient to make them of average weight. People diagnosed with type 1 diabetes were of normal body weight or underweight before being affected with Type 1 diabetes and the loss of weight at the time of diagnosis is much noticeable.

The breathing biomechanics, body posture, and locomotion are closely interconnected. Posture and locomotion affect breathing biomechanics; breathing biomechanics (type of breathing) affect posture.
The biological world is a part of the physical world. Understanding more about biology will give you more knowledge of the physical world.
This book gives more understanding of the biological world. It explains the bio-mechanisms of weight gain (human body mass gain), weight loss (human body mass loss) and body mass distribution in the human body.
