Type 1 Diabetes is usually a progressive autoimmunedisease, in which the beta cells that produce insulin are slowly destroyed by the body's own immune system. It is unknown what first starts this cascade of immune events, but evidence suggests that both a genetic predisposition and environmental factors, such as a viral infection, are involved. No one knows why this happens yet or how long before a cure will be found but they have come close in resent years.
