Patricia commented on Valeria Correa's blog post 'Diabetic and coeliac anyone?'
I think so:) I have never been tested but, it is likely given my symptoms and deficiencies...so I started on a gluten-free diet about a year ago. Are you celiac?? and if so, how do you deal?? I found it easier once I decided to go low CHO as well....

Hi Patricia! Doing just okay here. Been having trouble with sugars lately, but I have not been a "perfect" diabetic lately to say the least. To busy with work and a bit to much stress and not eating the way I should. Kinda mad at myself. Well really mad at myself and need to get back on track. Tomorrow will hopefully be a better day. Love your music too! Sorry to hear about your Scotty. It is never easy. It will be 4 years in just about a month that my Gwennan girl passed. I still miss her so much! Our animals really touch our lives.
