Celiac Disease

People with type 1 diabetes are at an increased risk for celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder characterized by a complete intolerance to gluten.

Combine the need for a gluten-free diet with the carb counting that’s required when you have type 1 diabetes and eating becomes one challenging situation after another. Here, learn about the disease and find gluten-free recipes, resources, tips, and support from others living with this difficult duo.
