I was diagnosed as type 1 diabetes In January due to having high glucose/hba1c on my NHS over 40s health test by a diabetes nurse
A few months later I finally see a doctor who questioned it as I'm slim and just turned 40 and had no major symptoms of diabetes other than high glucose
One doctor suggested I get tested for coeliac and ran some more tests
Coeliac was a high positive for the blood test, the ttg score should have been below 30 but mine was way over 1000
A test for the anti gad type 1 antibodies was negative
Although at the time my c-peptide was low so they thought it was diabetes and coeliac, (I wonder if this was the diabetes or me taking too much insulin)
A month after going gluten free and I was needing very little insulin, 3 units of basil and a little walking seems to keep me 100% time in range
I've been told by a dietitian that high glucose can also come with coeliac
Doctors, diabetes nurses and me too are unsure what's going on. I'm either in a honeymoon stage (10 months after T1 diagnosis) or possibly type 2, maybe it's just coeliac
Any advice from anyone who was diagnosed with type 1 and then coeliac.
I'm just wondering what I can expect over the next 12 months
