No, Crohns is not caused by Diabetes. A study in 2007 suggested a link between the two because both are autoimmune diseases but geneticists who found the gene linking Crohns and type 1 Diabetes found it to be insignificant. The overall increase in risk of disease conferred by the various genetic risk factors was between 1.2 and 1.5 times, suggesting routine testing is not worthwhile.
