I was diagnosed a few years ago with gastritis and duodenitis although been having problems and flareup for about 8 -9 years. Diagnosed with diabetes 6.5 years. Had no
Health issues previously. Wonder if these are linked and if gastritis etc is common in diabetics.

No more than any other health problem, it seems.
Bad controlled diabetics risk their health due to being vunerable to infections. Try your best to keep good control and your immune system will keep bugs in their place.
I know so much harder when not well though.
Get well soon and remember good control helps with more than we can imagine.

I'm recovering from an op and due to 99% good bgs I've skipped kid's tonsillitis and a threatened scarlet fever.
These can still kill vunerable people.
Keep well and happy!
