Case Series: Is Celiac Disease Underdiagnosed in Korean Children?

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder characterised by an immunological response to a gluten-containing diet in genetically predisposed individuals. The disease is considered uncommon in people of East Asian descent, but the prevalence among the Korean population is unknown. Increased awareness and recognition of CD in East Asia could lead to higher diagnosis rates.

Coexisiting type 1 diabetes and celiac disease is associated with lower Hba1c when compared to type 1 diabetes alone: data from the Australasian Diabetes Data Network (ADDN) registry.

Aim: To compare HbA1c and clinical outcomes in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), with or without celiac disease (CD).

Methods: Longitudinal data were extracted from ADDN, a prospective clinical diabetes registry. Inclusion criteria were T1D (with or without CD), ≥ 1 HbA1c measurement, age 16-25 years and diabetes duration ≥ 1 year at last measurement.

Current Perspectives on the Role of Very-Low-Energy Diets in the Treatment of Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes in Youth.

In both developed and developing countries, pediatric obesity and type 2 diabetes are an increasing public health concern: globally 5.6% of girls and 7.8% of boys aged ≥5 years have obesity.

Abnormal Cortical and Trabecular Bone in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease.

Objective: This study compared bone health in youth with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease (CD) versus type 1 diabetes alone.

Research Design And Methods: This was a case-control study of 42 youth with coexisting type 1 diabetes and CD and 40 with type 1 diabetes matched for age, sex, diabetes duration, and HbA. Bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and BMC-to-lean tissue mass (LTM) ratio were measured using DXA and reported as -scores for height.

Greater postprandial glucose excursions and inadequate nutrient intake in youth with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.

The gluten free diet (GFD) has a high glycemic index and low-fiber content, which potentially influences glycemic excursions in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD). Participants in this case-control study of youth with T1D+CD (n = 10) and T1D only (n = 7) wore blinded continuous glucose monitoring systems for six days. Blood glucose levels (BGLs) were compared between groups for each meal, including pre-meal, peak, 2-hour postprandial and time-to-peak.

Quality of Life in Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease: Role of the Gluten-Free Diet.

Objective: To evaluate quality of life (QoL) and glycemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease vs T1D only. We hypothesized that QoL scores would be lower in youth with T1D and celiac disease and those nonadherent to the gluten-free diet (GFD).

Study Design: This case control study included 35 youth with T1D and 35 with T1D  and  celiac disease matched for age, sex, diabetes duration, and hemoglobin A1c level.

Screening for Celiac Disease in Type 1 Diabetes: A Systematic Review.

Background And Objectives: Prevalence rates of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD) vary from 1.6% to 16.4% worldwide.
