Some say that this happens when there is exposure of a newly born to a cow’s milk, the infection from viruses and bacteria, and the exposure from food-borne chemical toxins. There is not enough evidence yet to prove some theories that may trigger the cause of diabetes.

Another reason is believed to be that the needed insulin not be effective effective to control the blood sugar because of abnormalities in composition.
