How many of you have had diabetes come to the fore after having been diagnosed with celiac and gone on the gluten free diet?

I was diabetic first (for 26 years) before I was diagnosed with Celiac almost a year ago.

My diabetes was diagnosed March 7, 1986. I went on insulin that day. Celiac disease was not diagnosed until July 6, 2000, but I know I had it for years before that. I had symptoms that I now know for sure were from celiac as early as 1994, and various mysterious gastric disorders as far back as 1970. What I wonder is: Did I have celiac disease 35 years ago? If it had been correctly diagnosed and treated, would I have ever developed diabetes?

I was diagnosed with diabetes in 1984 & celiac in 2004.

Boy, this thread is flying in the face of all the famous statistics, which tell us that celiac is so often a precursor to diabetes, and rarely the other way around. I, too, became a diabetic a long time before my celiac diagnosis (thirty-three years diabetic, six months known celiac). Boy, talk about dietary challenges now!

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      Pua, do you understand that genetic testing cannot be used as proof of having celiac disease as it only establishes the potential to develop active celiac disease? About 40% of the population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. However, it can be used as a rule out measure.

      Mahalo for all of the answers this has been super helpful. He is doing so much better on a gluten free diet. I may consider genetic testing as I never thought of that as an option and I definitely don’t want to go the usual route and have to give him gluten again for the test. It’s nice to have an “official diagnosis” but as long as he’s healthy I don’t c...

      Does 101gl mean. I have celiac desease

      Welcome to the forum, @Marilyn1941! As Wheatwacked explained, we need more information. There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be run to detect celiac disease. Some are more meaningful than others in the sense of positive results being due to celiac disease or possibly due to something else. So, knowing exactly what test the score you gave...

      When my son was weaned in 1976 he was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. My mom said at the time. "you got what you gave." His doctor insisted on Nutramigen as the only hyperallergenic baby formula with full nutrition. After 6 months he was weaned to gluten free diet. It seems it still has that status. He has grown strong and well.

      Hi @Marilyn1941, Welcome to the forum. There is not enough info to go on. What test name? What are the results and the laboratory's normal range they used? Why were you tested? What kind of symptoms? Age, sex and country would be helpful but not necessary.

Some are more meaningful than others in the sense of positive results being due to celiac disease or possibly due to something else. So, knowing exactly what test the score you gave is referring to would be helpful. In addition, the ranges and units of measure used by different labs differs from one lab to another. There is no industry standard for these. So, we would need to know the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for that test used by the lab who did the analysis. And was there only that one test ordered by the physician?
