How do you get type one diabetes when no one else in your family has had it or has it?
ACtually Type 2 diabetes "adult onset", is much more genetic than type 1. It's an autoimmune process where your own antibodies mount an attack on the insulin producing cells of the pancreas. So many type 1 diabetics actually don't have a history of other family members with diabetes, esp of type 1. But there may be a family history of other autoimmune diseases, such as vitiligo, hypothyroidism, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
