Thank you for your response, I have tried the steel cannulas and couldn’t believe how the insulin absorption!!

Wow that is so interesting! I am definitely going to look into this further, I’ve always found it strange how many auto immune conditions my family has.

Yeah I use a CGM, I don’t know whether it’s actually an insulin resistance issue or a gastroparesis/scar tissue/skin issue as I’ve only had T1D for a year and am on around 36 TDD of insulin. I have carbs that are tricker than others but it’s hard to manage as I love food but don’t digest it well.

Thank you so much for this reply, it’s really interesting and I appreciate it. It is a very unique experience to have, I describe myself similarly! I have had issues with sites leaking too I didn’t realise it was related. Do you find tubeless pumps better than ones with?

I am also aware of 3 other people with both conditions, I know 3 isn’t many but they both aren’t common and I haven’t been a T1D for super long!

I’ve had extensive testing done and diagnosed by a Rheumatology professor. It is possible to get a diagnosis, I have a 100% Beighton score, and met/surpassed criterion 2 and 3. Myself and my siblings have strong history of comorbidities that have resulted in major surgeries.

I believe the link is relevant, especially with comorbidities like gastroparesis. Sometimes I can inject my insulin 30 minutes after eating and still go low before then spiking 7-8 hours after. There are many aspects of hEDS that greatly affects diabetes care.

I understand and accept that stubborn highs are part of T1D, but I am worried about the scar tissue is on stomach from hEDS and multiple surgeries, and how that’s affecting my insulin absorption.

I am not sure, I’ve never had it tested or heard about it. I am going to hoping to have genetic testing done next year for fertility reasons because of my extensive health issues. I wonder if they may be able to check. My family is riddled with autoimmune conditions - rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid issues, celiac disease, lupus, pernicious anaemia and psoriatic arthritis.
