Increased Risk of Type 1 Diabetes in People with Celiac or Thyroid Disease: A Summary of a New Observational Study

A large-scale, retrospective observational study using health insurance claims data from millions of people in the United States shows that people with celiac disease are more than twice as likely to develop type 1 diabetes 0r thyroid disease, as those without it—and that risk may be even higher in children.

Celiac disease, autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's) and type 1 diabetes share a gene which puts people at risk. Other conditions which share the HLA genes are RE - rheumatoid arthritis, SLE - lupus, AS - ankylosing spondylitis, Sjögren's, MG - myasthenia gravis and MS - multiple sclerosis.

This is one of the major reasons why it is important to rule out/rule in celiac disease and get an accurate diagnosis before giving up gluten, or "going gluten-free" after which we do not have a way to accurately diagnose celiac disease.
