Asthma Risk Factors

Yes. Juvenile diabetes is most often caused by an autoimmune reaction (attacks the body's own beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin).
Asthma in childhood may also be an overactive autoimmune response by the body, triggered by allergens.
There is a relationship between the two disorders (both can be of autoimmune origin). Having childhood asthma (that is, an inappropriate immune response to an allergen)
may predispose a person to have a second autoimmune response in the body (as in autoimmune diabetes type I).
There is a risk factor, but not a certainty that if you have asthma you also develop juvenile diabetes juvenile.

As far as I know, there is no associated risk factors between asthma and diabetes, but they both hereditarial trends. Whether or not you have one or the other, if diabetes in your family, you are always at risk of developing, so look after yourself and be sure to have a blood sugar test occasionally done with your doctor.
