The Link between Diabetes and Celiac
There is a genetic link between Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.
Developing one of the diseases increases the risk of developing the other.
The prevalence of celiac disease in people with Type 1 diabetes is about 6% worldwide.
When a family has two children with Type 1 diabetes, there is a much higher chance
some in the family will have celiac disease.
Symptoms of celiac disease vary widely, but are often absent in persons with diabetes.
Celiac disease can cause unstable blood sugar control.....That explains the mystery of my blood sugar fluctuations!
