<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The Houston chapter of CSA has produced an extremely informative newsletter, highlighting many facets of the celiac/diabetic connection. They have generously sent 80+ individuals, who have previously expressed an interest in an up-coming survey, issues of this newsletter. Anyone else who would like it can contact Janet Rinehart < [log in to unmask]> to make arrangements. Due to copyright laws, it cannot be reproduced, but for the cost of $1 it can be obtained. I have no monetary interest or gain from this. I feel it is quite comprehensive in the compilation of the material, including the article that was in Diabetes Forecast last August by Jeant Guest, R.D. and Kemp Randolph's article from Gluten-Free Living. Unfortunately, at this time there is not a lot of information available that addresses both conditions.WE fervently hope that with more work and some changes made on the current questionaire, it will be out this summer. Our goal is to be able to have informative, educational materials available for people with both conditions, so they may make better informed decisions for a healthier lifestyle. I personally commend Sara Jones for starting this project, and continuing with it when things weren't going so well; also Helen Richards who has contributed much help, and especially, Janet Rinehart, who has given tremendous support to continue the focus! You all know the extreme care and precautions necessary for a celiac diet; twice as much care is necessary when you add diabetes to it.Currently gluten-free cookbooks are a boon to the celiac, but do not address food exchanges and breakdowns that are necessary in planning a diet that properly takes into consideration insulin or oral hypoglycemics and exercise. I know the future will be brighter in this respect and we look forward to more helpful information being available to help everyone with special diet requirements! Lynn in Omaha
