All of your symptoms and diagnoses can be traced back to gluten intolerance. Researchers have now discovered that Type 1 and Celiac are isolated on the same gene. They are related. They are wondering if in fact they are one in the same. When my niece removes gluten she needs less insulin. Gluten has been shown to cause lactose intolerance. It's intestinal damage. I'm so sick of the ADA holding back on useful information that I could puke. Still furious that the Endo told my niece to eat whatever you want and just correct with the insulin. My Mom and I tried to tell him 10 times, that all she has been eating is pasta, plates of the garbage. Now we know I'm probably celiac, my Dad too, my Mom is gluten intolerant, both sets of their parents have gluten intolerance issues. My niece's Mom (my sister) is gluten intolerant 66 of 70 symptoms and her Dad has a wheat allergy. The whole picture became very clear very early into her diagnosis. She was tested for celiac and turned out negative so the Dr said gluten isn't a problem. You are so right, wheat is a huge problem and very much a part of type 1 diabetes. Gluten free carbs still can spike the bg, almond flour and coconut flour don't spike the bg. Gluten causes inflammation head to toe. You will experience a huge difference when you eliminate all gluten.
