The presence of ANA antibodies was found in 24% of people with type 1 diabetes and 22% of people with type 2 diabetes. There was no correlation between the presence of ANA antibodies ANA and duration of diabetes.

A positive result for RNP antibodies is consistent with a connective tissue disease.

Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age. Adults may develop a specific form of type 1 diabetes known as LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood). LADA tends to develop more slowly than type 1 diabetes in children and young adults and people with LADA may sometimes be misdiagnosed as having type 2 diabetes.

Insulin and weight gain Being overweight is not a risk factor for type 1 diabetes, but that doesn't mean being immune from putting on weight either. Gaining weight with type 1 diabetes is not uncommon but this can be managed.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that occurs when a person's pancreas stops producing insulin, the hormone that controls blood-sugar levels. T1D develops when the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells are mistakenly destroyed by the body's immune system.

“The autoimmune part of type 1 diabetes is very particular, as only the beta cells in the islets are targeted — not the other cells in the islet, and not the other cells in the pancreas. In all of the usual ways, the immune system is just fine,” he says.

Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes cause damage to blood vessels and peripheral nerves that can result in problems in the legs and feet. Two main conditions, 1) peripheral artery disease (PAD), and 2) peripheral neuropathy are responsible for the increased risk of foot problems in people with diabetes.

Lids & conjunctiva. Individuals with diabetes are generally prone to acute infections of any kind especially when there is uncontrolled diabetes. The eyelids are more susceptible to infection and, hence, ulcerative blepharitis and styes are more commonly found in diabetes patients.

If you have either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, it means you have too much glucose (a type of sugar) in your blood. This is the same for both types. But the difference between them is how this happens. If you have Type 1 diabetes, it means you have an autoimmune condition.

Recent studies have reported increased incidence of thyroid autoimmunity in type 2 diabetes [9, 10], thus implying that diabetes can trigger the onset of thyroid autoimmunity. Few studies have, however, evaluated the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity in women with GDM [11–13].

Diabetes has previously been linked with pancreatic cancer, though it is unclear why. It could be that diabetes increases the risk of pancreatic cancer. What is probably more likely is that rapid onset or progression of diabetes could be a symptom of the cancer itself.

Even some drugs used in management of diabetes can cause pancreatitis. However, the association of acute pancreatitis with type 1 diabetes mellitus is uncommon. Here, we present a case of a type 1 diabetic patient who developed acute pancreatitis.

Type B insulin resistance (IR) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies directed against the insulin receptor, resulting in a marked IR inducing hyperglycemia (1,2). We describe here what we believe to be a case of type 1 diabetes and ketoacidosis associated with type B IR syndrome.

Aggressive maternal-fetal management, advances in insulin therapy, and improvements in neonatal intensive care units have decreased this figure to 2% to 5%. T1DM patients are at increased risk for complications such as hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, retinopathy, nephropathy, preeclampsia, and preterm labor.

Type 1 DM may result from damage to pancreatic beta cells from infectious or environmental agents, an autoimmune response against altered pancreatic beta-cell antigens, the presence of anti-insulin antibodies, or a combination of these factors.

Having one may mean you're more likely to develop the other. In fact, research shows that RA raises your risk for diabetes by about 50%. And diabetes raises your risk of having arthritis, including RA and arthritis-related issues, by about 20%. Nearly half of American adults who have diabetes also have arthritis.

A positive ANA test means autoantibodies are present. By itself, a positive ANA test does not indicate the presence of an autoimmune disease or the need for therapy. Some medications cause a positive ANA. Tell your doctor all prescription, over-the-counter, and street drugs you take.
