Sjogren syndrome
destruction of the salivary glands, dental caries.
I looked at UTD and there isn't anything about the vagina being involved, but there is probably some article out there that links it.
Mucosal dryness in young or middle-aged woman, especially in one with other autoimmune disease such as this patient (T1DM), should make you think of Sjogren syndrome
Important to contrast with age-related sicca syndrome, which is present in ~25% of individuals over 65 years old and leads to sensation of dry eyes and/or dry mouth with a negative ANA (if they are feeling generous and give you this information)
