Can there be an environmental factor to developing type 1 diabetes?

? Viral exposure: Some research indicates a genetic predisposition is activated by exposure to one of many common viruses, but it's still not conclusively proven. Certain drugs and chemicals (psychiatric rx, agent orange?) can also predispose to diabetes.
