The association of celiac disease and type 1 diabetes is well documented in the literature. Type 1 diabetes, celiac and thyroid diseases are a triad of autoimmune conditions with a significant co-morbidity. However, very little is written about the management of celiac disease and type 1 diabetes and clear guidelines are not available. This article reviews nutrition recommendations for diabetes management by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for healthy meal planning, carbohydrate counting, and potential use of glycemic index/glycemic load, as well as practical tips and suggestions for transitioning to a gluten-free, diabetes meal plan.
