What is the connection between lupus, diabetes mellitus, and thyroid?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Autoimmune Disorders: Lupus, type1 diabetes and most cases of hypo and hyper thyroidism are auto immune disorders, your immune system attacks your own cells.

Association: All three are autoimmune disorders which mean that the body is attacking itself. Some organs affected may be glands as in thyroid disease and some could be skin or kidney as in lupus.
