Anecdotally, my exclusively breastfed baby is the one who developed type 1 diabetes.

I like to share that when people bring up breastfed babies are less likely to get diabetes... cuz mine did.

T1D is not caused by diet. These studies are T2D later in lide

I know that; its an autoimmune disorder. But they akways say diabetes in general can be prevented by breastfeeding, not type 2 diabetes specifically.
