NCT01566110

Brief Summary

Currently no consensus exists on the optimal way to manage asymptomatic patients with celiac disease (CD) and Type 1 diabetes (T1D). The impact of dietary treatment as it pertains to clinically relevant outcomes such as metabolic control, bone mineralization and wellbeing will be evaluated in this study. A randomized controlled study longitudinally evaluating HbA1c and glycemic excursions using continuous glucose monitoring will rigorously determine the impact of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on blood glucose variability in patients with T1D.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Metabolic Control

    As a standard measure of diabetes control, HbA1c is assessed on a frequent and regular basis as recommended by the CDA 2008 guidelines in both pediatric and adult patients. HbA1c is synthesized throughout the cycle of a red blood cell and reflects the degree of chronic hyperglycemia present in patients with diabetes.

    Change from Baseline over 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Hypoglycemic Episodes

    Frequency over 12 months

  • Continuous Glucose Monitoring

    Baseline, 6 months and 12 months after randomization

Study Arms (2)

Diet Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL
Dietary Supplement: Gluten Free Diet

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Subjects assigned to the control group will continue their usual diet. They will receive dietary teaching at each study visit as part of their diabetes management.

Interventions

Gluten Free DietDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Subjects assigned to the intervention group will receive a standardized dietary education intervention that will inform subjects and family members of the effects of gluten on the gastrointestinal tract and emphasize the need to adhere to a diet that is gluten-free. This intervention will be delivered by a dietician who is trained in celiac disease and gluten free diet.
