Yes!: Over the years our knowledge do diabetes has progressed, type 1 diabetes used to be defined by age or insulin dependence. It is now better understood and known to be an autoimmune disease and technically defined as autoimmune damage to the insulin producing cells of the pancreas. It can be tested for. Having one autoimmune dz increases risk of another. However, type 2 DM is still more common.
