| I've got a lot of auto-immune diseases in my family - rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, etc. I was the lucky one who developed diabetes. My endo was of the opinion that either my pancreas was destined to poop out and it finally did in my 30s, or that it could possibly have been a virus of some sort (prevailing opinion at the time, I guess). Regardless of cause, there's no reversing it so I don't really wonder "why?" that much.
