It's not an 'immune system'. As for an 'immune system disorder', which I'm sure is what you must have meant, it depends on the TYPE of Diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes - autoimmune disease (body attacks the pancreas cells that produce insulin, so they lack the insulin to tell muscles to absorb glucose from the blood stream). They have high glucose levels but low insulin levels.
Type 2 diabetes - the pancreas cells are fine, and are spurting out insulin left, right and centre. The problem is that the muscle cells are just tired of insulin's crap, and don't want to listen any more (there are less RECEPTORS to ACKNOWLEDGE that the insulin is there, so it's like it isn't even there!). They have high glucose AND high insulin levels.

How does diabetes effect the immune system?

What negative effects the ingredient sugar has on the human body if too much is eaten?

Why is suppressing the immune system unadvisable in patients with type I diabetes?
People with type I diabetes are already at risk for autoimmune problems, are more prone to infections, and have a complicated medical history that makes suppressing the immune system unadvisable.
Is diabetes inheritable?
Genes determine whether you would inherit Diabetes or not. Diabetes is dependent on the immune system. The immune system is in turn dependent on genes. If there is any imbalance in the immune system, it triggers an autoimmune reaction. Other factors like gender, diet and body reaction also play a role in determining if you would inherit diabetes or not.

Is Diabetes a chromosomal error?
you have to be much more specific in your question. there are many types of diabetes- type one diabetes, type two diabetes, diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus. I, personally, am actually a type one diabetic (diabetes mellitus). This is not due to chromosomal error. No one is precisely sure as to how one acquires diabetes, but my doctor's believe I caught a virus which tricked my immune system to thinking my pancreas was sick, when it was in fact not. My immune system then killed my beta cells. Or alpha. I don't know haha. Hope this helps.

Does the endocrine system affect diabetes?
== == Yes. High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all.
Is type 1 diabetes a sex linked gene?
No, type 1 diabetes is not a sex-linked gene. It is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Both males and females can develop type 1 diabetes.
Is there a surgery for type 2 diabetes to temporarily stop the need of insulin?
I know there is a procedure available for type 1 diabetes that works for 2-3 years (animal transplant that eventually gets rejected by the human immune system) but does it work with type 2 diabetes?
Who is at risk for Onychomycosis?
Individuals who are especially susceptible include those with chronic diseases such as diabetes and circulatory problems and those with diseases that suppress the immune system
