Visitor Questions

Wheat contains gluten so a whole wheat scone would not be gluten free. However, there are gluten free prepared foods, such as scones, breads, muffins, etc., which are available for individuals who have a gluten intolerance or severe gluten allergy. We are not aware of any reason individuals with diabetes should avoid gluten.

As background, there are healthy whole grain, gluten free products on the market; however, the nutrient profile of prepared gluten free foods will vary considerably. We recommend a whole foods diet, such as the Healthiest Way of Eating for optimal nutrition and health. Individuals with gluten intolerance can easily use our website to help improve their eating habits. By using our Recipe Assistant, you can exclude gluten-containing grains (e.g., whole wheat, barley, and rye) and find a list of recipes that are gluten free.
