I am a type 1 Diabetic. Why did my immune system target and specifically kill just the insulin secreting cells of my pancreas? Why not target other organs too?

Regrettable the answer to your question is that we don’t know. Your question sort of implies that there is some purpose in only attacking one type of tissues.
There are of course autoimmune diseases that target more than one type of tissues within the body.
Which is a long way of saying. No one knows.
