There is a lot of evidence. The tone of that blog post is potentially a bit overly doubtful, although a person could go into a pretty interesting google dive for medical research papers and more information based on it if they wanted to, so I wouldn't complain. The mechanisms for viruses causing adult-onset type 1 diabetes have perhaps not been well understood, but there's now little doubt that it happens. I don't know how long it's been a subject of active study but researchers talked to my father about his adult-onset type 1 diabetes, which followed a bad case of the mumps, in the early eighties. I think it's just very, very tough to prove something like this in a way that is technically beyond doubt. My dad was part of a cluster of cases but, you know, that's not proof of causation, even if you find a lot of them. Interesting field.
