How does adult onset Type I diabetes work? Is it “burnout” of the body’s ability to make insulin? Why isn’t it noticed sooner? Does good lifestyle prevent symptom development?

Diagnosed at 49 with Type 1. I was healthy, ran with my dogs daily, non drinker and living a healthy life. No history of Type 1 in my family.
Got Covid and my pancreas died.
Type one can be triggered with trauma, illness or just plain old genetics. If there’s a history of type one, you are at risk. In my case it was Covid which triggered it. Lifestyle has nothing to do with type one.
