Amy Campbell

Last week, in "Diabetes and Celiac Disease (Part 1)," we started to take a look at celiac disease: what it is, how many people have it, and common symptoms. This week, we’ll look at how celiac is diagnosed and how it’s treated.

Diabetes and Celiac Disease (Part 1)

Amy Campbell

You may recall that I attended the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) annual meeting a few weeks ago.  When I arrived at the conference on Wednesday, I was a little late getting to the 1:30 session that I really wanted to go to and, as a result, got closed out.
