🩸 Type 1 Diabetes in Children
Let’s understand this in a very simple way.
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
It is an autoimmune disease where the body destroys insulin-producing cells.
What is it commonly associated with?
Since it is autoimmune, it is often seen with other autoimmune diseases.
✅ Correct Answer: (d) Hypothyroidism
Why Hypothyroidism?
Autoimmune thyroid disease (like Hashimoto’s) is commonly associated with Type 1 Diabetes in children.
Important point:
Celiac disease is also associated, but in exams, thyroid disorders are more commonly asked.
Why other options are not correct?
- (a) Obesity → ❌ Related to Type 2 Diabetes
- (b) Celiac disease → ❌ Also associated, but not the best answer here
- (c) Down’s syndrome → ❌ Not a primary association
Simple Exam Trick:
Type 1 DM → Autoimmune → Think Thyroid first
📌 Note: In practice, both thyroid disease and celiac disease are screened in children with Type 1 Diabetes.
