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.
@SarahGen-- Diabetes is a metabolic disorder but it is also a systemic disease because it affects many different systems in the body. For example, uncontrolled diabetes will cause complications in organs like the liver and kidneys and systems like the central nervous system.utoimmune disease is another type of systemic problem, though again this category can be wide ranging. Some common examples of autoimmune conditions are HIV/AIDS, Celiac disease, and Multiple Sclerosis.
