It can be difficult to tell the difference between strep throat symptoms and symptoms of a viral infection, like mononucleosis (mono), which is also common in teens. Just like strep throat symptoms, with mono you will experience a sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, rash and body aches.
Type 1 Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease results when the body's system for fighting infection (the immune system) turns against a part of the body. In diabetes, the immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas and destroys them. The pancreas then produces little or no insulin.
The Gluten and Diabetes Connection. Celiac disease and type 1 diabetes are autoimmune diseases, and research shows they may have a similar genetic basis. It is recommended that a person with type 1 diabetes be fully tested for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity prior to starting a gluten-free diet.ype 2 diabetes is not autoimmune in nature, and to date, there has not been a connection between type 2 and gluten intolerance. The American Diabetes Association recommends screening children for celiac disease shortly after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
