No one is quite sure yet, but the two main reasons for a person getting it are 1) if it runs in your family and 2) self-allergy. What I mean by that is that the cells that make up your insulin in the pancreas may begin to attack each other and your pancreas can not function correctly.

∙ 12y agoType 1 Diabetes is caused by a combination of factors. First, the individual must be genetically predisposed to the disease: he or she must have inherited a gene from one of the parents. There are a number of genes which together cause type 1 diabetes, and they can come from one or both parents. It is possible (although uncommon) for a child to have type 1 diabetes even if neither parent had any symptoms.
Second, there must be a 'trigger' - an incident which causes symptoms to begin. These are typically related to diet, however there is some evidence that cold weather can make it more likely for diabetes to be triggered.
There are a number of other possible risk factors, including some viruses and chemicals, however there is very little conclusive evidence that any of them can consistently cause or prevent Type 1 Diabetes.

Type one diabetes is caused due to cell mediated autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells(cells which secrete Insulin) ,leading to absolute insulin deficiency.
Hope i have answered your question.

Is Diabetes a chromosomal error?
you have to be much more specific in your question. there are many types of diabetes- type one diabetes, type two diabetes, diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus. I, personally, am actually a type one diabetic (diabetes mellitus). This is not due to chromosomal error. No one is precisely sure as to how one acquires diabetes, but my doctor's believe I caught a virus which tricked my immune system to thinking my pancreas was sick, when it was in fact not. My immune system then killed my beta cells. Or alpha. I don't know haha. Hope this helps.

Is type 2 diabetes also known as pre-diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is not the same thing as pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes, or borderline diabetes, is a condition where the body either slows down insulin production or cannot correctly utilize insulin. Blood sugars are slightly elevated at times without taking any oral medication. This is usually associated with obesity and can usually be corrected with proper diet and exercise. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can become type 2 diabetes, which is basically a more severe form of pre-diabetes. With type 2, high blood sugars are usually treated with oral medication, or insulin injections if necessary. Your body does not produce enough insulin, nor does it use it correctly. This differs from type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin at all.

What causes diabetes mellitus?
Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic, autoimmune disorder in which white blood cells attack the insulin-secreting beta cells inside the pancreas. One of the results being the loss of the body to produce enough insulin. Despite being considerable advances in treating diabetes it is always important to keep blood sugar levels under control unless they can bring a host of other complications such as renal (kidney) failure, heart problems, blindness, and some other things.
