Is it possible for type 1 diabetes to be triggered by a common cold virus?

Diabetes: Yes the common cold and/or the flu virus can trigger diabetes

Define "trigger": T1DM is a process that emerges after a period of time when the body looses its ability to make insulin.The apparent mechanism involves destruction of insulin producing cells by auto-immune antibodies. The source of those antibodies is illusive but thought to include enteroviral infections.The disease often presents after a triggering illness, but could be diagnosed earlier by specific tests.
