Learn more about celiac disease, hemochromatosis and frozen shoulder, and how they relate to type 1 diabetes, in this section.
Celiac Disease
Foods made from wheat and certain other grains contain a protein called gluten. If you have a condition called celiac disease, every time you eat something with gluten, a reaction damages the lining of your small intestine. Nutrients aren't absorbed properly, and this leads to a host of problems.
Hemochromatosis
Learn more about this surprisingly common genetic disease that can cause serious and even fatal complications, and can cause a type of diabetes known as "bronze diabetes."
Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive capsulitis is more commonly known as frozen shoulder, and with good reason: It can render your shoulder so stiff, it's almost impossible to button your shirt -- that is, if you aren't in too much pain to get dressed in the first place.
