I have auto immune diabetes. does this make it more likely i will get other auto immune diseases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The presence of an autoimmune disease implies the presence of impaired immune regulations and thus you are more prone to develop other autoimmune disorder. Do get check for low vitamin d3 level in your blood since vitamin d3 is now considered one of the major immune regulators.
