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.

my hamster died and my second hamster i got after that one died as well. i also lost two birds named rainbow and kiwi, (they didn't die, they flew off and escaped). i lost a cat named omi, and a dog named snoopie. the best way i got over it is, paying my respects, and just thinking that they were in a happy place. as well as just remembering but not thinking about it all the time, just do fun activities and try not to think about it too much. hope you feel better. i'm sorry about your loss. : (
