While gluten is not harmful, it can raise your blood sugar levels<\/b><\/a>. If you are diagnosed with either celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity and type 1 diabetes<\/strong><\/a>, then it is best to avoid foods that contain gluten.<\/span><\/p>\n

Managing type 1 diabetes with a gluten-free diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Type 1 <\/span>diabetes and celiac disease are closely linked, as both of them are autoimmune conditions and lead to severe gluten intolerance in the body. Many patients with type 1 <\/span>diabetes also have celiac disease. Having celiac disease makes it difficult to manage diabetes symptoms. In such cases, turn to a <\/span>gluten-free diet for diabetes<\/span> and foods that keep your <\/span>blood sugar level steady.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main grains that contain gluten are wheat, barley, rye, and triticale (a mixture of wheat and rye). These grains are in pasta, bread, potato chips, cereal, cookies, and crackers. Avoid these foods if you are sensitive to gluten.<\/span><\/p>\n
