There’s already plenty of data showing that people with diabetes (which weakens the immune system) have a higher rate of getting the flu than people who don’t have diabetes. Now, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health suggests that Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) might be the result of getting sick with H1N1 ‘swine’ flu.
Researchers identified more than 2-thousand-2-hundred people (in Norway), aged 30 or younger, who got infected with H1N1 (or flu-like-illness) and then became T1D. Researchers concluded that people who got H1N1 were 18% more likely to develop T1D than people who never got sick with H1N1, and that the younger the person was the more likely they would get T1D.
The study was presented in September at the 53rd European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Portugal.
