Thanks for reading! I forgot to add that the cause of type 1 diabetes is still unknown. It occurs when the body destroys its own insulin-producing cells, but they aren't sure if there is a genetic component. One theory is that the autoimmune response is triggered by environmental factors, such as viruses. I've seen type 1 occur both in families and in groups of friends with no familial relation. Unfortunately, type 1s are such a small percentage of all diabetics that we don't get enough attention when it comes to research, at least in my opinion.
