Hi my name is Cristina and i am a severe brittle type 1 diabetic. Just was told by neurologist that the pain and swelling is not a neurologist problem but a Gastroenterologist problem. Wow

Has anyone tested you for coeliac disease? Type1 and coeliac quite often pair together. I'd be asking for a test if you haven't already had one. I'm wondering if the neurologist might not be suggesting that when he/she said you need to see a gastroenterologist?

hi Cristina as in the previous comments, yes, please do share more background.
also from your post title, i don't know if you're newly diagnosed or have been having trouble controlling your diabetes, or both (because brittle type), but please stay strong. i'm not a brittle t1 but i know from exp it can be really frustrating, can't imagine how many times multiplied it might be with yours. just remember, we're here to listen.
