<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello...My name is Michelle and I'm new to this list...I subscribed because I am a diabetic on the insulin pump...I am starting to investigate my various allergic reactions...I just looked up celiac and don't think i match the description because i carry some excess weight and it seems celiacs are malnourished...i have gone to overeaters anonymous and they often suggest a sugar free and wheat free diet...I am interested in the fact that diabetes and immune system problems may go hand in hand...i know that diabetes is sometimes caused after exposure to a virus...I wonder if most diabetics might have immune system problems and or allergies...i am just starting to research this...so you may have seen more trends in this direction than i have...any info would be appreciated...michelle piper at [log in to unmask]
