- Abstract
CIDP is frequent in patients suffering from diabetes but affects them after severe years of diabetes.[[2]] As for this patient, he developed T1DM after CIDP because he was totally asymptomatic of T1DM with a normal blood glycemic level when he first had neurological symptoms. The mechanism underlying the association of type 1 diabetes and CIDP is still debated.[[2]] Some have hypothesized the existence of common autoantigen in peri-islet Schwann cells and peripheral nerve Schwann cells. The diagnosis of T1DM should be considered in each patient, especially among children and teenagers presenting CIDP even in the absence of general manifestation.
