<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Welcome all to the new Celiac Diabetes Support List! As those who have both-- it is a unique and somewhat conflicting combo of diseases to combine. The high carbs of GF grains, and need to restrict carbs for diabetes control make for one heckofa juggling act. Also....... perhaps we can find shelter from the plethora of recipies of both celiac carb laden foods, and diabetes glutenous foods- here in this no man's land of combined diseases. I have a question to pose to listmates: Can you tell me what snack in the evening you use to keep your morning fasting number from being too high? We've been discussing the difference (on the Lehigh diabetes support group) between Smoggi & Dawn effects- the first comes from the body's response of having too little insulin (hypo) in the night (a type 1 scenario), and the dawn effect seems to be the liver kicking out glucose for a get ready to function in the morning mode, as well as determining it needs something to work with while you sleep.(can be either type of diabetic). It seems silly that one would have to eat before going to bed to have a lower AM fasting number.....but such is the case for some. Some said protein..... others say carbs...... What works for you-- what exactly & how much-- (Quantity) & what fasting numbers are you trying to obtain? I'm still trying to figure out the right combination & some of the pre-fab diabetic foods (nite bites come to mind) have gluten in them.
