<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> In a listmate's summary: 1. A listmember was first diagnosed with diabetes & then CD. Diabetes usually occurs from malabsorption problems. Going on celiac diet resulted in losing weight & then the disappearance of diabetes. <snip> Just to clarify~ there (currently) is no "cure" for diabetes. Once a diabetic always a diabetic- with the exception of a Type 1 diabetic getting a pancreas transplant. Type 2 diabetics can (sometimes) control the condition with diet & exercise- but the ability for the body to resist insulin or have sporadic pancreas function (creating extreme highs or lows) still exists. A person who can maintain control & stay within normal blood glucose ranges, should continue to self- monitor their blood glucose, and have regular doctor visits specifically to address the diabetes. Insulin is a hormone, and can change dramatically for a variety of reasons. Blood pressure, cholesterol & glucose levels all need to be monitored to be a diabetic in control.
