I think this is the most significant part of that article:
I wonder if the gluten intolerance or sensitivity, undetected by mainstream tests, contributed to the onset of diabetes. The diabetes gets noticed first, because doctors understand it, are aware of it, know how to diagnose it, and to treat it, but perhaps it is another symptom of gluten wreaking havoc on the body.
Thanks for posting that link.
