Hi,
Noted the history related to your 10 year old daughter having
celiac disease and you are worried about type I
diabetes, undergone blood sugar tests.
Yes, there is a relation between the two. If one is suffering from one disease then there is always a chance of development of another disease under discussion.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
First of all consult your Doctor for
counselling and get a reference for a
Diabetologist and Gastroenterologist for proper evaluation, examination and investigations including that of HbA1c, Radiology for
pancreas, blood Insulin and so on.
Now a days we get a continuous blood sugar monitoring devise that gives better result to decide whether the patient has diabetes or not.
Type I diabetes needs Insulin hence the need to have in depth studies to decide,
Dietary changes may help to alleviate the sudden hunger. Consult a Dietitian for this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
