diabetes with celiac

[sophy456-]

Hello my Granddaughter has had diabetes 1 from the age of 4 she is now 9 and

it was hard to keep her level on track

last year she was diagnosed with celiac so she has to follow

gluten free diet I would suggest she gets tested for this as

it is very common with diabetes 1 good luck

Have you checked out the healthunlocked.com/glutenfr... group also on HU? What are your Granddaughter’s blood sugars? What is her A1c results for the last appointment/3 months? How many carbs. does she have for every meal/snack? How many times a day does she do insulin shots? Has her doctor suggested she goes on a low carb high protein diet along with the gluten free diet plan?

I’m type 1 and I eat a low carb high protein and gluten free diet along with using two types of insulin and a CGM to control the blood sugars and the gluten intolerance/wheat issues. I hope this helps you!😀👍🌈

Hello my Granddaughter is under a consultant in London you need to get a referral to see

if you have celiac disease before you do anything the hospital will then sort out your diet

good luck

Is your GP practice taking care of your Granddaughter?

While you are waiting for your special diet from your consultant, has the GP practice given you any diet guidance?

Thank you.

Take care.

Hi no my daughter is brilliant handling her condition my Granddaughter has

diabetes 1 along with celiac which was diagnosed last year at the age of 8

she is now 9 and dealing very well with her condition the diet is no gluten it is best to cook from scratch gluten free bread and so on you have to look at all labels

in supermarkets very time consuming there are a lot of foods to eat including pasta

but you have to weigh the amount of carbs you have obviously protein is free

also with diabetes watch the sugar

your hospital should sort out a diet sheet for celiac but tested first
