RA and type 1 diabetes are both auto-immune diseases so there is a link. People with 1 auto-immune disease are more likely to develop another than the rest of the population.
There’s not so much of a link to type 2 diabetes.
Yes, There it is. If you suffer from Diabetes [Type 1 / Type 2 - IDDM / NIDDM]
It will effect from the Toe to Head and each and every part of the body.
Because, Insulin [Glucose] in the fuel for our body. If it is low… You will be tired and exhausted in no time. If the fuel [Glucose / Insulin] is more / high, then it will be choke…

Yes, the two diseases are quite different, but do share some similarities. One link is that both diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis are often classified to be an autoimmune disease, which is where your bodies white blood cells, which fight infection, begin attacking healthy cells. However, this is not true of all types of arthritis.
