Autoimmunity: Celiac disease in T1DM-the need to look long term

Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2011 Nov 8;8(1):7-8. doi: 10.1038/nrendo.2011.193.

Abstract

Does untreated celiac disease associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus worsen microvascular outcomes? Previous studies have concluded that a gluten-free diet offers no major benefit for glycemic control, whereas Leeds and colleagues provide preliminary data to the contrary. The question awaits a long-term prospective study or a clinical trial.
