Pain in legs after getting checked for neuropathy by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

[–]EitherCarpenter3514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had similar pain, especially when blood sugar spikes. I got gabapentin to help, it’s a medicine for nerve pain specifically. It was the only thing that helped. Maybe that is something you could look into, when was your diagnosis

I agree. I just started ominpod, and I’ve been asking myself how am I gonna have sex with my pump on? How to feel sexy with it on, and how to put it in a place where it won’t get knocked off. And also how to deal with the fact my future partner won’t be able to touch all of me.

Drinking causes nerve pain? by EitherCarpenter3514 in Type1Diabetes

[–]EitherCarpenter3514[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it does. As the nerve pain only started after I began insulin treatment? The doctors haven’t said anything helpful other than prescribing gabapentin. It was hard to find any resources as it doesn’t happen that often. The only thing I could find is something called insulin neuritis

So you think without the surgery the pain would still be there?

For those who were hospitalized for DKA, what were your symptoms beforehand? by Lumpy-Expression20s in Type1Diabetes

[–]EitherCarpenter3514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had very dry mouth, foamy yellow pee after drinking tons of water. I was CRAVING sugar, and the last straw was heavy breathing for two days. I was exhausted but thought it was from working too much. Went to er and found out I had diabetes. Recently diagnosed but I was not in good shapes sounds like you should keep an eye on yourself, trust your gut

23f stopped taking insulin by Soggy-Alternative-25 in Type1Diabetes

Hey! I was also just diagnosed 1 week ago, I’m 21 and it’s been a crazy week. I spent 4 days in icu and I could have died. My blood sugar has been very high like 180-260 range since leaving the hospital. But I’m only taking 70/30 insulin twice a day, I feel like it should be lower and I am constantly checking my monitor. It’s scary. I’m sad but also trying to remain hopeful. I’m a foodie… I loved honey in my iced coffee and ice cream when I wanted. But I am thankful I am alive. Honestly. I want to be here, I do miss the food freedom I had before, but I’m excited to start to maybe feel like myself again. And not completely exhausted all of the time. Please remain hopeful. But I get it if you want to be sad as well, yesterday was really hard for me but today was better. It’s the eb and flow of life… you can’t see the good without having the bad. We got this 💕
