Q: Celiac can trigger Diabetes, lactose and sucrose intolerences?

How many diabetics have been tested for Celiac given that Celiac can trigger Diabetes, lactose and sucrose intolerences?

I am a diabetic with celiac and bronchicetasis. Recently found out I have had Celiac all my life (58 years). Got my medical records under the Freedom of Information Act from the hosptial where I was treated at as an infant.
