OKay. here's the deal. I have had T1 diabetes for 4 years. I have had leg pain, neuroapthy in my upper calves for 2 years. I was also strating to develop burning and pain in both of my hands I used to be on Lyrica for the pain. I was also diagnose...
For those ladies who had GD and were told: "it will be years before you should get diabetes, IF YOU GET DIABETES. I went for GD to diagnosed with LADA within 6 months.
Hi, I just joined this forum. I've been vegetarian for about 18 years and a Type 1 diabetic for 11 years. I'm interested in hearing about lower carb veg. recipes and what types of things others on this group order when you eat out at restaurants.
...
I used to be a "walking carbohydrate" before I got LADA, or type 1.5. But I'm a happy pesco-vegetarian for 10 years. I used to say: "I gave up Meat for Chocolate Cake!" I didn't want to get Cancer. Jokes on me. Now I have diabetes.

My life on meds with pain..oh, and DIABETES
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in early 2008. I did not believe this diagnosis at first and I sought out several "second opinions" before I believed it to be true. I am still dealing with this conclusion.
In 2005 I was diagnosed with LADA, a form of Type 1 diabetes, from which I have developed neuropathy in the backs of my calves. I have recently started having burning and stiffness in my hands, which is causing me a lot of anxiety and concern. I hate being in pain.

Thanks for the friend invite.
I hear ya on the gastroparesis. Insult to injury! I haven't had the pain yet(thankful for this), but my endo diagnosed it from my crazy BG readings after dinner. Low after dinner, followed by huge spikes 4-5 hours later. I'm now on a med for this, but it's only been a few days so I can't tell yet if it's helping.
The drug, Ondansetron ODT, is given to people undergoing chemo to help with nausea, but it also speeds up stomach emptying. We'll see.

- Hi, Rebecca! Sorry to hear you were dx'd with Gastroparesis... When you get a second please check out the link I have attached. There are many great exercises, tips and tricks discussed on how to alleviate the"full stomach" feeling...please pay close attention to pages 356, 357 and 359. The link I am sending is a free preview of Dr. Bernstein book, so it does not have all the pages but it has a lot of information....I hope it is of some help to you.

- I have had no issues with changing the insulin in my pump... do you have this issue? I have mastered "air bubbles" finally. The only thing about the entire Diabetes thing I do not like is some of the complications that creep up sometimes... but besides that everything is peachy :)
