Hi, I have been diagnosed 2 months ago with type 1. I am suffering from body aches and pain for almost 4 weeks now. Its feels the same as when you have flu and pain and disconfort is wearing me thin. I am in the endo unit this week and all the dr told me is that it could be my body adjusting to whats going on now. That is not much of an answer. I was on metformin for 2 months and was taken off it on Monday. I am still using actrapid and prophane. Does anybody have similar experience and can tell me more about what causes this and how i can heal faster and how long does it normally take to go away. Thank you all reading this and for wanting to assist.
Hi Lindie. I've been dealing with body aches and pains for most of my adult life. I do have some diagnoses and some of them are treatable, but much of what is wrong with me has no treatment beyond symptom relief.
I think the doctor is right to look first to diabetes-related changes as that is the biggest thing that has changed recently but at the same time, I think he or your GP should be running some basic blood tests for non-diabetes-related things at the very least to rule them out. I don't know what your access to GPs and specialists is like but maybe your GP can start the investigative process off?
I am under the care of 5-6 specialist departments at any one time and boy does it get confusing for them and me. So we all rely on my GP to "hover above" all the info they're working with and highlight when something may need attention.
Hope that helps.
