Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Type 2 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, just as RA is. If you have one autoimmune disease, you are more likely than other people to get another one. That doesn't mean that you will get another one. I just have the RA and no other autoimmune diseases.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yes, of course it is, . My fingers didn't type what my brain was thinking. Sorry for the wrong information, and thanks for correcting it.
