A member asked:
Is there link between type 2 diabetes & coeliac disease? i have cd & diabetic 58yo dad has many cd symptoms he's reluctant to get gastroscopy tho
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but: Type II diabetes is mostly from obesity and celiac disease is considered an autoimmune disease. Having said that gluten-free foods are often loaded with sugar and fat to keep the product moist and stuck together and leading to weight gain -> DMII. If your dad has CD symptoms and refuses to get a small intestine biopsy, he should at least get a blood test to check it out.
