Hey,
Im a newly T1 and i have bouts of diarrhoea which there is no explanation for. The doctors say they have no evidence that diarrhoea and diabetes are linked. I have high readings at the moment there coming down very slowly. I will have no reason or explanation for it at all.

A T1 diabetic can get diarrhoea in exactly the same way as anyone else. From food that doesn't agree with them or an infection. Diabetics are no different in this way, however the danger to them is. It's important to keep bg as close as possible to the target, during any bout of infection. If Bg remains normal for that diabetic, it probably isn't an infection.

Hi Vigman,
My son Andrew whos T1 and 11 yrs old, took frequent bouts of chronic diahorrea 3 1/2 yrs ago. about 6months after diagnosis of diabetes, he also begain to lose weight again. During a Hba1c test they sent some bloods of for testing for thyroid and coeliac disease and unfortunately it came back possitive for coeliac disease which is an intolerance to gluten found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Best get her checked out as in children with diabetes, more are being diagnosed with it, in N Ireland 10 % have both. He also suffered with tummy cramps, wind and smelly stools.
