From the Mayo Clinic:

"Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy.

Different factors, including genetics and some viruses, may contribute to type 1 diabetes. Although type 1 diabetes usually appears during childhood or adolescence, it can develop in adults.

Despite active research, type 1 diabetes has no cure. Treatment focuses on managing blood sugar levels with insulin, diet and lifestyle to prevent complications."

My point wasn't that Type I can be hereditary, it was that it isn't "Only hereditary" therefore this company is a scam.

I'm type 1 for almost 20 years now, it is not necessarily hereditary, although if it runs in the family there could be a higher riskfor you. I have no family history, it's an autoimmune disease.
