Gluten‐free diet increases beta‐cell volume and improves glucose tolerance in an animal model of type 2 diabetes

Gluten‐free (GF) diet alleviates type 1 diabetes in animal models and possibly in humans. We recently showed that fatty acid‐induced insulin secretion is enhanced by enzymatically digested gluten (gliadin) stimulation in INS‐1E insulinoma cells. We therefore hypothesized that GF diet would induce beta‐cell rest and ameliorate type 2 diabetes.
