Lupus is found in virtually all countries of the world. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that is not contagious, but rather develops when there is a genetic predisposition and trigger(s).
Yes - but only type 1 (childhood) which is virally caused resulting in autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet cells which secrete Insulin. Note that diabetes mellitis is a natural phenomenon brought earlier on in life through obesity and poor diet.
