Please get your facts straight: Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented or deferred by "lifestyle choices." That's Type 2 diabetes you're thinking of. Nobody understand the trigger mechanisms for Type 1, so it cannot, as yet, be prevented.
The video uses lifestyle choices to indicate the onset of Type 1 diabetes is not simple Mendalian Genetics, but instead Type 1 Diabetes is a multifactorial disease. Other factors cause its onset in those genetically predisposed -- those factors may be "lifestyle choices", or may be exposure to a certain virus. I agree "lifestyle choices" does not summarize the complexity of the onset of this disease.
