<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Many thanks to those of you who replied to my inquiry as to how many celiacs out there also have diabetes. I received approximately 24 responses. Most had been diagnosed with diabetes before celiac disease, but there were a few who had been diagnosed with CD first, like I had. I received SO many encouraging emails saying to just "hang in there", and many promises that "it does get easier in time." Many of you also related some of your own personal experiences dealing with both celiac and diabetes. One respondant sent a copy of a newspaper article on celiac disease in which they had been featured, and another offered to swap gluten-free/sugar-free recipes with me! Many also offered the opportunity to write if I ever had any questions or problems or just plain need or want to talk. Again, my heartfelt THANKS to each of you, you're the best! Best Wishes and Good Health to All, Pat V in NJ
