Anyway, ...I wrote this whole long post and lost it! Anyway, I guess I think that looking at the physical side of it, while coeliacs can progress to stricturing and jejunitis, the results of poorly controlled diabetes - blindess, amputation - are worse, and often the symptoms have to be controlled with insulin as well as diet, whereas coeliac is primarily a dietary treatment. Coming from a diabeteic family, and as my dad has already had (thankfully minor) amputation, I fear diabetes more (but would find it harder to give up gluten than sugary things).<br />Kristy, good luck. I hope everything's ok. I also recently had the diabetes test (all fine) and it's worrying.Miss Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604850110464039541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246526203577211665.post-7483454831294091282009-12-31T09:13:40.868+11:002009-12-31T09:13:40.868+11:00That is supposed to read foot, not feet.That is supposed to read foot, not feet.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391678902908585000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246526203577211665.post-48926284228187775262009-12-31T09:13:08.414+11:002009-12-31T09:13:08.414+11:00Lena, I think your right and it does depend a lot....Lena, I think your right and it does depend a lot.

I love my sweets but could probably learn to substitute with dried fruit etc. I don't know if there's a gluten-free substitute for puff pastry that would really hit the spot! (And I'd miss my faux meats too.)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246526203577211665.post-22161543378679746622009-12-29T22:55:43.347+11:002009-12-29T22:55:43.347+11:00I think diabetes would be harder - no desserts???!...I think diabetes would be harder - no desserts???!! There are so many gluten free options available now that although being coeliac would be awful, I think it would be a lot easier.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637213324395055754noreply@blogger.com
