In partnership with Coeliac UK

This information is for people with diabetes who think they may have coeliac disease, or have been diagnosed with coeliac disease.

The condition is more common in people who have Type 1 diabetes.

This section of the website covers the symptoms of coeliac disease, what to do if you think you have it, and how it is treated with a gluten-free diet. The possible long-term effects of coeliac disease are also discussed.

Balancing your diet if you have diabetes and coeliac disease can be challenging, but it is important. Making the right food choices and adapting your eating habits will help you manage both conditions and help protect your long-term health.
