Celiac disease in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus: Prevalence, time to diagnosis, and metabolic characteristics in a tertiary care center

Background

Celiac disease (CD) is one of the most common autoimmune disorders associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). Owing to shared genetic susceptibility and immunological mechanisms, children with T1D are at increased risk of developing CD. Early identification is essential to prevent long-term complications and optimize metabolic outcomes.
