Goljan asks this question in Path as someone who is 'bronze' with a congenital Fe+++ abnormality is predisposed to developing...and then makes you choose between type I and type II DM!!
I think it is type II, btw, but I do not know why, since actual destruction of the pancreatic parynchema sounds like it should be type I.
