Other health issues when you have T1D.
Since T1 is an autoimmune disease, it stands to reason that some of those with one autoimmune issue have others.
Personally, I have three autoimmune issues. The biggest one is T1, next up is hypothyroidism, and the mild of the three is psoriasis.
The diabetes is treated with insulin and a healthy diet, but there is no cure. The hypothyroidism is treated with synthetic thyroid pills. I treat the skin issues with coconut oil.
Each person with autoimmune issues can have one or more things going on. Our bodies are just super nifty and go a tab bit crazy and wrongly identify perfectly functioning body parts as invaders and set out to destroy them.
I pray that my body is done goofing up the invader identification and I develop no more autoimmune diseases.
