[QUOTE="christi99, post: 847035, member: 179601"] Well, my only reason for pondering the T2-autoimmune potential link (or as i said possibly a pro-inflammatory cellular destruction) is because many who have other autoimmune diagnoses can have higher levels of insulin resistance, dietary allergies, leaky gut etc.) - I know this isn't heavily researched or even scientifically accepted but it bears my consideration- as I have another autoimmune disease, have type 1.5 vs. 2 diabetes and my family is heavy in many different autoimmune diagnoses. And my son seems to have been born with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia (I was gestationally diabetic).
