Hi Jerry,

The main reasons to avoid wheat gluten
are if you are celiac/gluten intolerant,
or have a wheat or gluten allergy.

----

In my opinion, the main things to avoid
if you want to have good control of your
diabetes, are SUGAR, WHITE FLOUR, WHITE
RICE, and other nutrient-deficient foods.

----

Eat low on the glycemic index. If you
want treats, use stevia, erythritol,
and/or agave nectar for sweetening.

----

There are tests you can take to see if
you have a wheat or gluten sensitivity.

----

Some people avoid gluten in order to lose
weight. If that is your intent, there
is no harm in trying it.

----

I hope that helps! :)
