[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2465071, member: 372717"] I think there can be [B]multiple [/B]reasons, exacerbated by genetics. (There are identical twins where only one is T1 so clearly genetics isn't sufficient on its own.) But honestly, though we all tend to want to have a reason why stuff happens, sometimes I really think that it is just (bad) luck of the draw. My mother was T1 with zero family history, I had a T1 mother and no other obvious triggers, and when my brother had a life threatening head injury in his early twenties his doctor said it might trigger T1 (luckily it didn't, and his only long term consequence was loss of hearing on one ear).
