>>12330303there is no single cause; type 1 diabetes is a generic term for any diabetes mellitus caused by destruction of insulin-producing cells, which itself can be caused by any external damage to the pancreas(including toxins, cancer, inflammation, autoimmune, trauma, etc.)
what you're asking about specifically is the most common 'idiopathic' one, which is linked to autoimmune response, but if you want a deeper, serious answer on what exactly triggers the immune system to attack insulin cells(which itself is not a single cause, but a mix of genetic and environmental factors), why do you come to 4chan asking questions that aren't yet answered by researchers?
you think someone here is a genius endocrinologist-geneticist who knows the exact mechanism and isn't publishing, just waiting to share the info on (you)r post?
