Hi all I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced chronic diarrhoea after every single meal no matter what you have?
I am absolutely terrified of asking for help
Thanks

You need to speak to your doctors. Please don’t be afraid to go speak to them, that’s what they are there forHi all I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced chronic diarrhoea after every single meal no matter what you have?

You should seek medical help. At the very least you could consider OTC preparations that would stop this but you do need to know the root cause. There is likely be to be a straightforward and treatable explanation. If left untreated you could become dehydrated and malnourished. What are you afraid of?

Chronic diarrhoea can be the result of persistent high average blood glucose. This may not be an "additional" problem, but as others say, requires medical attention immediately. Here is something that happened to me 36 years ago:Thanks for the reply I’m just really anxious that I will have something else seriously wrong with my insides that I can’t control and my head can’t handle the diabetes never mind another condition!
I limit myself to one can of pop per day (diet of course) and the rest just water
I once put off going to the dentist for about 4 years for similar reasons. Eventually I just had to go and though I did need some work done it was nothing like as bad as I was fearing and the relief of having gone was enormous. I know that dentistry is no where near as scary as potential T1 complications but honestly the same principle applies. Whatever you are imagining is likely to be much more scary than the reality, and if it isn't then that just means you really need to go.Thanks for the reply I’m just really anxious that I will have something else seriously wrong with my insides that I can’t control and my head can’t handle the diabetes never mind another condition!
Some type1s are now given metformin which can upset the system. Are you using metformin @Rleady1357 ?
