As an autoimmune disorder, type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a serious health problem. It's becoming more commonplace as time goes on. The primary goal of this literature review is to examine how early on in the course of T1D treatment emergency departments might be involved in the care of patients who develop autoimmune disorders. Patients with type 1 diabetes are frequently admitted to the hospital, and it is important to screen them for other autoimmune disorders as part of any trial of treatment. Given the significance of the link between T1D and the development of autoimmune diseases, emergency physicians should be prepared to screen for these conditions, and the emergency department policy should be revised to include the provision of screening tools like appropriate questionnaires and a panel of representative autoimmune disease tests.
