Brief summary

To the investigators' knowledge, no single long-term prospective observational study has assessed dietary factors, diabetes clinical variables (metabolic control and associated complications), and self -perceived health and wellness in T1D patients (both pediatric and adult) with CD identified by screening (positive/weakly positive serology). The aim of the current study is to observe the short- and long-term outcomes for Type 1 diabetic patients with new serology positive asymptomatic CD.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Average Daily Gluten Intake2 YearsThis outcome will be measured through interview/assessment data.
Celiac Dietary Adherence2 YearsThis outcome will be measured through the Celiac Dietary Adherence test (CDAT) questionnaire.
TTG-IgA Serology2 YearsThis outcome will be measured through TTG-IgA serology testing for inflammatory markers for celiac disease.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Metabolic Control2 yearsThis outcome will be measured through self-reports and lab-provided HbA1c values.
Kidney Function2 yearsThis outcome will be measured through lab-provided Albumin/Creatinine Ratios.
Health-related Quality of Life2 YearsThis outcome will be measured through the self-reported Quality of Life (PedsQL) Inventory Generic Core Scale (V.4.0) with Diabetes Module (V.3.0).
Presence of Type 1 Diabetes Complications10 yearsThis outcome will be measured by monitoring the occurence of T1D health outcomes and complications over time through long-term medical record review follow-up. Complications include, but are not limited to: nephropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease in the study population.
Presence of Celiac Disease Complications10 yearsThis outcome will be measured by monitoring the occurence of celiac disease health outcomes and complications over time through long-term medical record review follow-up. Complications include, but are not limited to: osteoporosis and malnutrition in the study population.
Hypoglycemic episodes.2 yearsThe frequency and severity of hypoglycemic episodes will be recorded at each clinic visit via self-report.
Daily Activity Levels2 YearsThis outcome will be measured through the self-reported Habitual Activity Estimation Scale (HAES).
Self-Perceived Wellness2 YearsThis outcome will be measured through a self-reported Self-Perceived Wellness Scale.
