Newly diagnosed with celiac disease. I hve type 2 diabeties for last 17 yrs. does this new change in diet
raise my sugar levels in blood. Anyone in similar situation and any advice on how to deal with this please?
 
So you are told not to eat anything containing gluten. What is the commonest thing with gluten? wheat flour. So pack up eating anything with wheat flour in it pdq.

Surely if anything it will lower the BG?

You still have to make sure the total carb value of your food isn't too much for your own body to cope with to suit your diabetes, so that's the same.
 
Sure . but my sugar has gone up? is it because of diet change? just wanted to know if its the cause? any
other members with this issue?

Perhaps you weren’t fully absorbing your food before and now you are? Hypos are one of the signs of coeliac disease in Type 1s so I’d imagine that was possible.
 
Maybe it would help if you give us an idea of the sort of things you normally (on your new coeliac diet) have for breakfast lunch and dinner as that may give us an idea of where your carbs are coming from.

A coeliac friendly diet is going to be lower is wheat products and therefore you would assume it to be lower in carbohydrates and lower your BG levels, but it depends what other things you are eating instead of wheat products.

Also, what if any medication are you using for your diabetes?

Have you had your Covid vaccination recently as that has caused some of us to have elevated Blood Glucose readings?
