<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Ginny, I am very new to this group, but I can relate to your problem in reverse. I have been diabetic for 6-7 years now, very well managed and then the roof fell in at the beginning of this year. I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis which has similar symptoms of Celiac disease. Others in a support group I am in are gluten free because tests have shown them to be gluten intolerant. I am trying the gluten free lifestyle and it does seem to be working. My blood sugar numbers are going up, however, so as of today, my doc has increased my meds. I am a type II diabetic, desperately trying to stay that way but the road is starting to get rocky. I constantly struggle against the cravings, too. I love chocolate, bread, and coffee. I gave up the bread, still struggle with the chocolate but I won't give up my coffee. I do eat a lot of yogurt because of meds I am on. I will probably have to go to the low fat yogurt because of high cholesterol problems. I also take meds for high blood pressure, so when I am really feeling sorry for myself, I grumble that there is nothing I can have. No fats, sugars, salt or breads. Then I look around me, and there is always someone working through something worse. Perspective, I guess. I don't know why the doctors cannot tell you what type of diabetic you are. I always thought if one took insulin, that made you a type I, but maybe not. I would be interested in how this plays out for you. I know I am starting to get more forceful with my docs and I also get copies of all my records. That way I remember what I have been on before and how it affected me. Keep the faith, Ginny, and let me know how you are doing. Take care, Kathy * Please remember some posters may be WHEAT-FREE, but not GLUTEN-FREE *
