studies I've read and I can't for the life of me find a link to one (i'llpost when i find it) indicate taht type 1 tends to be diagnosed most commonly around ages 5. 10 and 20, probably due to stress/hormonal changes/growth spurts and like others have indicated increased contact with viral/environmental triggers at those ages.
