Thyroid problems and diabetes - do the two always go hand in hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Patients with type 1 diabetes have about a 30% chance of also getting autoimmune thyroid disease. However, autoimmune thyroid disease by itself is very common among the general population. It does not raise your risk as much in reverse in terms of also getting type 1 diabetes.
