It sounds like you've experienced a significant change in your diabetes diagnosis. Transitioning from type 2 to type 1 diabetes, along with a diagnosis of pancreatic autoimmune disease, can be challenging.

Here are some key points about type 1 diabetes and autoimmune conditions:

- Type 1 Diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It requires insulin treatment for management.
- Autoimmune Diseases: These occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. In your case, it seems to be targeting the pancreas.

It's important to work closely with your healthcare team to manage these conditions effectively. If you have any specific concerns or need support, consider joining a diabetes support group or community.
