Hi,
Just looking to see how many type one diabetics suffer from other auto-immune conditions...
If you could comment what they are after the poll vote that would be great....
just looking to expand my knowledge......
I'm not T1 novorapidboi, but have had exhaustive discussions about auto-immune disease with the Endo I see for my thyroid issues (which do not appear to be AI).
My family, and past family history is littered with AI conditions, from T1 to hyperthyroidism, to rheumatoid arthritis, to fibrosing alveolitis and so on. On the basis the Endo was certain I would test positive for at least one condition, he ordered a huge list of tests - from memory the list was over 30 tests. Who knew there were so many conditions out there?
Actually, much to his astonishment, I tested negative or inconclusive to each and every one.
He is certain they're lining up for me (there's a heart-warming thought), and warned me if I develop one condition that I need to have that raft of tests re-run.
On that basis, as far as I understand it, when it comes to AI conditions, the world is your veritable lobster.
