A member asked:
If i have grave's disease am i more at risk of getting diabetes or other endo disorder?

Mild increased risk: Graves' disease is an autoimmune condition, in which the immune system makes antibodies that target one's own proteins. Having one autoimmune condition does increase the risk of developing another, including type 1 diabetes, or addison's disease (hypoadrenalism) by about 10-20% compared to someone with no known autoimmune disorders.

Yes: Autoimmune thyroid disease of which graves is part of them increases your chances of developing type i diabetes (autoimmune destruction of cells that produce insulin) and addisons disease (adrenal insuficiency due to developed autoimmunity to the adrenal glands.
