I am a gulf war veteran and my son was also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 9 like someone else had posted. There's no family history of type 1 diabetes. I wonder if there is any correlation to my gulf war syndrome and the type 1 diabetes diagnosis of my son. Could the effects that caused my immune symptom to change be passed to my son thereby causing type 1 diabetes?
