Sixty-two (20.3%) patients were referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist, 26 (8.5%) patients, were proved to have CD. Further, 36 (11.8%) patients were considered potential CD. In conclusion, the prevalence of celiac disease in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus in this study is considered to be among the highest reported, (20.3%).
