Sweden and Finland hold the highest incidence rates globally, yet the reasons behind this phenomenon remain elusive. Investigators are exploring various avenues to unveil the mysteries of this autoimmune disease, where the immune system inadvertently attacks insulin-producing cells. As studies evolve, scientists aim to decipher the environmental and genetic factors contributing to this health crisis.
