Aches and Pains

My three year old son, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes four months ago, sometimes complains of his legs and feet hurting. What can I do to help him with this? Could it be from the insulin or high or low blood sugars?

My 12 year old son, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 11 months ago, sometimes complains that his legs feel “restless” when his blood sugar is high. He shakes his legs, trying to relieve his pain. A long walk does tend to help him feel better. I have asked his endocrinologist about this, but she has never heard of this symptom. What do you think it could be?

I’ve had bad stomach spasms since I was 7. Now I’m 14 and have been reading about diabetes recently and I have a lot of the symptoms. I wanted to ask if diabetes could go undetected that long?

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes several months ago, my doctor says I more than likely have had it for several years. and it went untreated. I now have my blood sugar levels pretty much under control, but I have recently started experiencing some problems in my feet and lower legs. Could this be related to the diabetes? How should I treat it?

My seven year old daughter, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 15 months ago, claims that her legs have “pressure”. When I asked her to describe this she said they feel heavy and ache. She also has been getting a lot of headaches. Are these symptom related to her diabetes?

My child, who has type 1 diabetes, gets terrible headaches and leg pains. Is there any way her condition can be improved? What foods can she eat? Are there any alternatives to insulin injections?

When my blood sugar is quite low, I get a cramping pain in my pelvic area. It will wake me so I can treat myself. What could cause this pain?

My 24 year old son, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of ten, has recently experienced several cases of muscle strains. Can these muscle strains be attributed to his diabetes in any way?

My son has been complaining of stomachaches halfway through meals. What can cause this?

Do people with type 1 diabetes have a higher risk of getting rheumatoid arthritis? I am concerned about the joint pain my daughter has.
