Overview

There are no established causes for type 1 diabetes mellitus. Studies have found that cause of type 1 diabetes mellitus is the result of interactions of genetic, environmental, and immunologic factors. There are at least 37 genes associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, certain infections, diet and some maternal related factors are known to cause type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Causes

The exact cause of type 1 diabetes mellitus remains unknown. Studies have found that cause of type 1 diabetes mellitus is the result of interactions of genetic, environmental, and immunologic factors:^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]

Envirnomental triggers associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus	Congenital rubella Maternal entero-viral infection Cesarean section Higher birth weight Older maternal age Low maternal intake of vegetables Enteroviral infection Frequent respiratory or enteric infections Abnormal microbiome Early exposure to cereals, root vegetables, eggs and cow’s milk Infant weight gain Serious life events Persistent or recurrent entero-viral infections Overweight or increased height velocity High glycemic load, fructose intake Dietary nitrates or nitrosamines Puberty Steroid treatment Insulin resistance Psychological stress
Immunologic factors associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus	Islet cell autoantibodies Activated lymphocytes in the islets, peripancreatic lymph nodes, and systemic circulation T lymphocytes that proliferate when stimulated with islet proteins Release of cytokines within the insulitis
