I think I have several reasons:
Both my maternal and paternal grandfathers had Type 1 diabetes...which is rather odd considering the chances. SO I did have a genetic predisposition.
At age 2, I was in a car accident (flew through the windshield)...diabetes can be caused by trauma.
At age 13, I had a ruptured appendix...diabetes can be caused by toxins which cause your immune system to attack the beta cells of the pancreas.
At age 17, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes...
At age 18, I had Mono, which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus which can contribute to becoming Diabetic, so maybe I had the virus before and the mono came out after I was diagnosed with Type 1.
So mine is hard to pinpoint but I definitely had the genetic predisposition so I was bound to get it with everything that happened to me.
