Message: <blockquote data-quote="dancer" data-source="post: 1988869" data-attributes="member: 110569">[USER=101199]@Helsharrison[/USER] I was diagnosed coeliac after having Type 1 diabetes for 37 years. I've now been gluten free for 3 years. My blood sugars had seemed to do their own thing since my last pregnancy (my daughter is now 31) and I hoped going gluten free would help get me back to my sensible results from  pre-pregnancy years. Unfortunately that didn't happen, in fact there were times when my highs and lows were even worse than usual. My diabetes dietician said that it can take up to 5 years for the gut to get back to normal. I've learned through trial and error to be very careful when including GF foods in my diet as the carb values marked on the packs seem to be higher than they actually are. For example of a slice of bread is supposed to be 15g carbs, I call it 10g otherwise I go hypo. . . . But that's me, others could be different.</blockquote>
