### Human:\ncould my child have gotten type 1 diabetes because of something i did wrong or because of me somehow? . i was recently accused of giving my daughter a "terminal disease" because she is a type 1 diabetic. is there any way i could have been responsible for her having diabetes?\n\n### Assistant: the only way you 'gave' your daughter type 1 diabetes is through genitics. type 1 is caused by a person's pancreas not producing enough insulin. certain genetics cause a person's body to stop producing insulin.
