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.

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. I then wandered across the hall to another session called "Managing Diabetes with Celiac Disease."

The routine of self-management—the routine necessitated by the multiple daily diabetes tasks—has the potential to become a mind-numbing burden that triggers some new dread in me each time I perform an aspect of it.

Last Thursday, I left work early because I was feeling out of it. These were the typical nondescript symptoms of my youth, more often than not the ones I’d call upon when I wanted nothing more than to tune out and do nothing. My intention last week was to go home and nap for a good three or four hours, then enjoy a quiet evening before returning to work the next day, the lazy weekend stretching out before me.
It didn’t turn out that way.

Here's the deal: I wear an insulin pump. I have for over a year now. While I don't love wearing the pump, I don't hate it, either. It isn't a burden. It isn't obvious I'm wearing one. The maintenance and every-three-day infusion set and reservoir changes have become cake, something to be done in a few minutes' time without really thinking about it.
