We read with great interest the manuscript by Leeds et al., who reported an increased prevalence of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in adults with type 1 diabetes and newly diagnosed celiac disease (CD). We would like to highlight the potential role of altered apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I) secretion in newly diagnosed CD patients as an explanation for the different results observed between DN and DR.

Abstract
We read with great interest the manuscript by Leeds et al., who reported an increased prevalence of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in adults with type 1 diabetes and newly diagnosed celiac disease (CD). We would like to highlight the potential role of altered apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I) secretion in newly diagnosed CD patients as an explanation for the different results observed between DN and DR.
