ABSTRACT
Insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM), sometimes referred to as type 1, or juvenile-onset diabetes, is an autoimmune disease (1). It frequently occurs in individuals or families where diabetes and other autoimmune endocrinopathies are common. Associated autoimmune diseases include pernicious anemia, myasthenia gravis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (2). Paraphenomena such a vitiligo and premature graying of the hair are well-recognized associates.
