Coeliac disease and Diabetes

There is a proven genetic link between coeliac disease and Type 1 diabetes. This means that people with Type 1 diabetes have a greater risk of developing coeliac disease than the general population.

It is now generally accepted that anyone with diagnosed Type 1 diabetes should be tested for coeliac disease, especially those with bowel problems or unexplained anaemia. Initially this is done via a blood test.

If you have any questions about coeliac disease and diabetes we advise that you consult your GP.
