## Abstract Type 1 insulin‐dependent diabetes is due to destruction of the insulin secreting cells of the islets of Langerhans. The disease is caused by non‐genetic, probably environmental, factors operating in a genetically susceptible host to initiate a destructive immune process. These unknown e
