IBD increases type 1 diabetes risk, revealing a bidirectional link between the two conditions

Researchers discovered that IBD significantly increases the risk of developing T1D, and this association works both ways, independent of genetics and familial factors. The strongest link was seen in ulcerative colitis patients.
