CD-DIET Research Study
Type 1 Diabetes
& Celiac Disease:
What You Need to Know About
GLUTEN and DIABETES
If you have type 1 diabetes, you are
more likely to develop celiac disease
What is celiac disease?
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that can develop at
any age. If someone with celiac disease eats food containing
gluten, they may feel sick because gluten causes inflammation
in the intestine. This inflammation makes it difficult for the body
to absorb nutrients and can affect your growth and overall well-
being, so it is important to be tested for celiac disease if you
have type 1 diabetes.
What is gluten and where is it found?
Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley.
These grains can be found in foods that you probably eat every
day, like cereal, bread, pasta, pizza, and cookies. Many
processed foods and personal care products also contain hidden
sources of gluten.
Although gluten is found in many of the foods that you eat,
gluten itself is not an essential part of your diet.
What is the CD-DIET study about?
The Celiac disease and Diabetes – Dietary Intervention and
Evaluation Trial (CD-DIET) is a screening and dietary intervention
study led by The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). SickKids is
offering a blood test to determine whether you or your child have
celiac disease. The goal of our study is to improve our
understanding of the treatment options available to people living
with both type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.
How do I qualify for the study?
If you have type 1 diabetes, have not been tested for celiac disease
within the past 2 years, and are between the ages of 8 and 45, you
are eligible to be screened for celiac disease.
CD-DIET Research Study
What will happen during screening?
We will ask that you or your child provide a blood sample during your
routine diabetes clinic visit. If the test is positive for celiac disease,
we will call you with the results and put you in touch with a
gastroenterologist (a doctor who is an expert on the digestive
system) for follow-up. If the gastroenterologist confirms your
diagnosis, you may be eligible to take part in the next phase of this
research, where we will study the effect of diet on individuals who
have celiac disease and are symptom-free. The purpose of the
second phase of the study is to assess the impact of diet on patients
without symptoms of celiac disease over the period of 1 year.
Screening is ongoing at
hospitals and health care
centres across the Greater
Toronto Area and Ontario.
Please speak to a CD-DIET
study coordinator for
information on screening
locations or to learn more
about this study.

Why are we doing this study?
We are interested in screening patients with type 1 diabetes
because 5%–7% of type 1 diabetics will develop celiac disease.
Testing for celiac disease is not routinely offered in many pediatric
and adult health care settings. In some cases, you might have
celiac disease yet not experience any of the symptoms that most
people with celiac disease commonly do. Symptoms include
diarrhea, abdominal pain, anemia, low bone density, unexplained
weight loss, and poor growth. If you do not have symptoms, a
blood test is the only way that you and your doctor can find out
whether you have celiac disease.
What are the benefits of
participating in this study?
Once you or your child are screened, we will know whether the test
for celiac disease is positive. You will also benefit from an
accurate and definite diagnosis. This is important because celiac
disease is often undiagnosed or sometimes misdiagnosed. You or
your child can also help others living with type 1 diabetes and
celiac disease by improving our understanding of treatment
options.
Where can I
