Hi, my 1 year old is recently diagnosed type 1. Since her diagnosis she has also developed some lumps on the bottom half of her body. The drs are currently looking into this but I wondered if anyone has had these or similar. Thank you.

Are these lumps near jab sites?
I don't know if this is it but insulin causes fatty lumps on type 1 diabetics if they put the insulin in the same place every day hence the need to rotate sites daily. Its called lipodystrophy. Because she is so little those bumps might be a lot more noticeable. No other symptoms except that it would mean less insulin getting absorbed hence higher sugars.
Hope you and she are doing okay with the whole thing anyway!

Hi, thanks for the reply.

No these lumps aren’t around the injection sites, there around her knees, lower back, legs and nappy area. She started with these when diagnosed so was wondering if they could be related. Hopefully we will get some more information when the drs have looked into it.

Thank you!
