About Type Diabetes and Celiac Disease
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease that attacks the insulin cells in the pancreas. Insulin works like a key to help sugar get into the cells of the body to be used for energy. People with type 1 diabetes cannot make their own insulin and must take insulin every day.
About 1 in 300 children get type 1 diabetes.

What is Celiac Disease?
Celiac is an auto-immune disease that attacks the lining of the small intestine. This causes problems with absorbing nutrients. People with celiac disease must stay on a special gluten-free diet.
About 1 in 100 children get celiac disease.
