Autoimmune disorders are diseases where the body’s immune system attacks itself. New evidence suggests that Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus is a progressive autoimmune disorder. Most patients who have Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus have DR3 and/or DR4 indicating immune response. Majority of deceased patients who have been diagnosed with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (within the past 6 months from death) was found to have had insulitis around pancreatic islets signifying immune involvement.

Cardiac Arrhythmia, Tuberculosis and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome are not autoimmune conditions.
