There's actually a couple different "types" of Type 1 Diabetes. For example, you can get it during pregnancy (Gestational Diabetes), etc. So it doesn't surprise me that it's possible to get it from Covid. I seem to recall someone getting it from an injury that damaged the Pancreas enough to prevent it from generating insulin. I don't know if that still "counts" as Type 1; but it certainly has the same effects.
