"I know, I will need to stay on the meds. I guess the stress of everything is getting to me. My MD's are great, they are trying to avoid me having the same issues as my other family members. It just sucks between Celiac, CAD and pre-diabetes…"

Ok, I'm confused. I went to a diabetic program yesterday (which my insurance suggested would be a good thing) to gain more insight as to how many times to test and how celiac will effect this.…Continue

I can feel your pain. As a new dialysis patient my diet and the family diet don't always match. But we just get along as best we can. I don't want to…"
Had Enough
I was diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I also have mild CAD. (No heart attacks or stents, thank god)I find myself taking 5 pills in the morning and 5 at night. For being pretty healthy that seem's like a lot for me. I'm starting to get in the dumps (stress at work and home, I know what else is new). I no longer feel like taking my meds when I need to.Help!!See More
Emmy replied to T2Celiac's discussion 'T2 and Celiac'"I'm reading the book "Wheat Belly". Its written by a heart specialist, and he had diabetes himself. He recommends getting off wheat because of the gluten, and he explains why. According to him, celiac and diabetes can pretty much go…"
"Your right. I have often thought what my a1c would be without metformin."
Jeannie Wagner replied to T2Celiac's discussion 'I'm confused'"You have received great advice. My HbA1c is 5.3 but I am still very much a Type 2 diabetic and treat myself accordingly. In the US, they usually classify you as a Pre D with fastings 100-125, 125 and over is full blown D. But many of us think Pre D…"
Alan S replied to T2Celiac's discussion 'I'm confused'"From your description you should be taking action to delay or prevent further progression towards diabetes complications regardless of the name you call your condition by or the funny looks a silly nurse gives you.
You were wise to make this…"
"Thank you, I will definately look for a good endo now."
Brian (bsc) replied to T2Celiac's discussion 'I'm confused'"I have to tell you, you don't get diagnosed with diabetes based on your A1c. You get diagnosed with diabetes based on your blood sugar levels, your fasting blood sugar and your blood sugar after meals. The American Diabetes Association (ADA)…"
"My oldest sister lost 3 toes and had tons of issues. Although, she had a much different philosphy than I do. Adriann believed since she was taking insulin, she could still eat as much cake and sugar soda's and just up her insulin. We lost her…"
"Hi T2Celiac: I agree with MBP, you really should get antibody testing (the full suite, GAD, ICA, IA-2) and also a c-peptide test. Celiac, an autoimmune disease, is closely linked with Type 1 autoimmune diabetes. Your A1c's indicate diabetes. It…"
"I'm not seeing an endo at this time. I go back for my 6month visit with my pcp and I will ask for this test.
Thanks, I don't want to be a "baby" or make a bigger deal than what it should be. However, I also don't want to…"
I'm confused
Ok, I'm confused. I went to a diabetic program yesterday (which my insurance suggested would be a good thing) to gain more insight as to how many times to test and how celiac will effect this. However, once the class began I started receiving funny looks from the nurse. There were 2 other people in the class, one man just found out he was diabetic with an a1c over 10 and a bg in his md's office over 500. The other one I believe has been diabetic for a couple of years, but never tests himself.As…See More
