Thank you all for replying. I really appreciate it. I'm meeting with my GI next week to talk about some options. I tried Prilosec OTC a few weeks ago for a couple of days, but discontinued use. While it did help with my symptoms, it gave me lots of nausea and headaches. Will these side effects...

For some reason, it takes around 24 hours for the new sensor to settle in. This has been pretty typical for all of my Dexcom sensors. I wouldn't say day 1 is often higher, the readings are just not consistent. And I wouldn't trust them. Once you hit day 2, the sensor readings should calm down a...

To be honest, I held out for as long as possible when it came to getting on a CGM. This was for personal reasons. Unfortunately, on a trip to the beach with the family, I had a really really bad low almost causing an accident. After that trip, my wife forced me to get on a CGM. At that time, it...

I'm looking to see if any T1Ds have any experience with PPIs such as Omeprazole (Prilosec) or Nexium. I have some ongoing GERD symptoms and was advised by my PCP to get on a PPI. Before I take the plunge, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with them (good or bad). For example, have they...

Thank you for replying. I kinda feel the same way and I'm sure my Endo will most likely have the same opinion. For the past few years, my diet has consisted of less than 10% gluten; therefore, cutting it out shouldn't be a huge issue. The tGT-iga antibody test which I tested positive for seems...

I recently had some celiac lab work done and the results seem to be inconclusive. My allergist wants me to follow up with a GI doctor to get an endoscopy, but I really don't want to have yet another test. As a bit of background, I've been a Type 1 diabetic for around 30 years but from what I've...

Thank you. I'm actually looking for some kind of support today. I do feel like it's the luck of the draw. That being said, ever since I was diagnosed with Type 1, I've noticed more colds.

I agree. I thought Type 1 was from an overactive immune system, not an under active one.

Type 1 here for over 30 years. Every fall/winter, I feel like I'm a magnet when it comes to colds. For example, I just got over a cold (which turned into sinusitis) last month and now I have another cold that started today. Woke up today with congestion. I'm getting super frustrated and to be...
