Aching legs in child with T1

[jojojojo2012]

My child is 6 and was dx in Feb, caught early and wasnt unwell. Lately he has complained in a morning that his legs ache, all of his legs all the way down. Described as an ache rather then a pain or a cramp, and doesnt seem overly distressed by it, just strange it keeps cropping up. Any ideas? He is still in honeymoon and well managed.

I used up get this. Doctors said it was growing pains but I'm 22 now and still get it from time to time. It's not painful just annoying. Happens most when I'm tired.

Don't think it's any help at all but my daughter (who hardly ever complains) used to complain of aching legs shortly before she was diagnosed.
I used to make her walk everywhere and thought she was just being a bit lazy & moany, if I'm honest! When I look back now, the poor girl must have been really suffering

So, no help or suggestions but she doesn't say it any more.

Hi, just a thought...
What are the blood sugar level readings in the morning on wake up?
Does this occur after a night hypo treatment...?

I often get this when my bloodsugar is high... if this is the cause then you can increase overnight insulin dosage (Long acting)
