Instagram post 2178672033798732663_7077376315 Did you know that November is National Diabetes awareness month? . .⠀⠀ There are three types of DM: type 1, type 2, and gestational. And T1DM is associated with Celiac Disease. . .⠀⠀ Both T1DM and CD are autoimmune disorders that have contributing genetic and environmental factors that lead to the development of the condition(s) in certain individuals. . .⠀⠀ T1DM is destruction of the pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin, which lead individuals with the condition to become dependent on insulin for life. . . Those with T1DM are also at a higher risk of developing CD in their lifetime. It is estimated that approximately 6% of people with T1DM develop CD in their lifetime. Yet, only a minority of those diagnosed with CD will develop T1DM. . .⠀⠀ CD is the destruction of the small intestinal villi, leading to malabsorption. The only effective lifelong treatment for CD is a gluten-free lifestyle. . . There are currently no standard guidelines of screening T1DM patients for CD. This is why it’s absolutely important for those diagnosed with T1DM to be routinely tested for CD regardless of the presence of symptoms. It is misconception that you need to have symptoms to have CD because you can be asymptomatic (have no symptoms) or be symptomatic. . . For more information on how to diagnose CD download my free ebook on Beginners Guide:Celiac Disease. ———————— #celiacsimplified . . *please note that infographics on Instagram are an extremely simplified overview of complex multifactorial conditions*
