I have had to deal with diabetes for the past 30 years and now the doctors have thrown in coeliac disease. The diet is extremely difficult. Although there are a lot of GF foods available, most are high in sugar. Does anyone have the same problems and how are you coping? Love to hear from you.

Welcome to the Diabetes Forum Garden Gnome.  I know little about celiac disease except that you cannot tolerate gluten.  As far as an eating plan for diabetes, no matter type 1 or 2, it's best to stick with fresh vegetables and lean meats and also cheese and nuts and some fruit.  Is gluten found in food other than certain grains?

I am not struggling with the diabetic part of the diet. It is the combination of both that is a little difficult. Coeliac means I have to omit wheat, barley, rye & oats from my diet. The bread is absolutely disgusting, I have given up on finding a bread that is palatable. Just wondering if there are any other lucky people who have to endure the likes of both of these diseases.
