Well my endocrine system hates me T-1 and hypothyroidism and yes related
Those with diabetes have an increased risk of heart disease for sure. I have read statistics that indicate that someone with Type 2 is at lesat twice as likely to develop heart disease over someone that does not have it. There is also research indicating a link between Type 2 and Alzheimer’s – see http://diabetes.webmd.com/news/20100825/type-2-diabetes-may-have-link-to-alzheimers . For Type 1 there is a definite link to all things endocrine related – and, in particular, those who get Type 1 as adults (AKA LADA - T1.5), a real link toward thyrhoid disease. For me the autoimune break down that brought on T1 also brought Hashimotos disease, a D absorbtion problem, and a host of other autoimune breakdowns.
