I would suggest raising the issue with your GP, who can probably send you for some tests to see what's going on. They can do 24 hour halter monitoring which gives an objective picture of what your heart is doing the whole time. Best of luck.Just wondered if anyone knows of any links between high pulse rate and type one diabetes?
Randomly checked my pulse at work and it was 104. Since then I’ve been checking for few months and never lower than 90s. I’m 21 years old not good!!
Thanks
cos mine is often about 85-105 whilst sitting down (currently 86) - I think its slowing down very gradually over the years - I remember once at school we did pulse rates in class and my idle pulse was the highest in the class by a fair old way at 114.
That's good to know. FWIW, my resting heart rate has slowly crept up as I've reached middle age and also gained weight. I remember at around age 20 it was 60, which is very good for an overweight person. It was due to working in a physical job, I was fit despite being heavy. I think it's about 82 now, which isn't too out there for someone my size and age. I've had many ECGs over the years and thankfully they are always normal.Yeah I'd go to the docs to get it checked, but it may just be because it is.
I've always had a high pulse rate, so whilst having a drink at the pub my fitbit thinks I'm exercising
And yes I've had T1 since I was young, but my mother and grandmother also have/had high pulse rates and they are/were not diabetic, so I suspect for me its just hereditary down my mums side of the family.
I did have a 24-hour test done and they were happy as mine drops down to about 65-75 overnight so it does calm down slightly.
