Type 1 is majority environmental: https://diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/article/54/suppl_2/S125/12859
It isn’t lifestyle related like Type 2, and nobody’s quite sure what the environmental triggers even are (except that they don’t seem to be present in less industrialized regions- for example, Karelians on the Finnish side of the border have 6x the incidence of those on the Russian side, despite similar diet and genetics…).
Holding society at large accountable actually seems pretty appropriate in this case.
My advice: look for a Protestant church that says they believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God (the nice thing about sticking with the Bible is that it will keep you from going off the rails either in the progressive direction or in the cruel and authoritarian direction) and that has a strong sense of community (self explanatory).
And on a more spiritual level, be ready for faith to sneak up on you gradually. It’s like muscle that gets stronger as you work it, but you have to put in the work.
I’m happy for you that the spirit is calling you back to the fold. I walked the same path a few years ago and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me / my family.
