Hello,

My husband also has both diseases;
First was Diabetes Type I, diagnosed in 1994 and last
year it was Celiac (Dermatitis Heptiformis).
We attended Diabetic classes and although they were
very informing and we did learn to balance our
carbohydrates, they could not help with any
suggestions for a gluten free diet.

We went to another dietician that does deal with
Celiac and she was able to help put together a diet
that is gluten free and to adjust his carbo intake to
work with his insulin schedule.

So if one dietician does not work,  ask for another.
You can still use a regular diabetic diet, just omit
all the gluten foods.  I had to do that with the first
diet we  received.   But do go to a dietician as they
help you balance your carbos.

The GF bread I bake is the only bread we use and my
husband has that with his breakfast.   For lunch it is
a Tupperware of last night's dinner.   For dinner it
is usually chicken or fish, steamed, boiled or baked -
no skin.   The usual veggies and rice or pototoes
(plain) for carbos.  Oh... and sometimes a big salad
of greens and veggies.

For his desert the dietician said he could have sugar
free jello.

Well sorry for the long post but planning my husband's
diet is a big thing with me :)

Hope this helps.

Mariella
