Hi! Not sure if this is the right place. I seem to remember that Vitamin B is involved with Type 1 in some way ie it is deficient or helps?
Can anyone help, please?

Hmm, I wonder if this is what you are after?


Looks like B12 deficiency can cause neuropathy so it's relevant for diabetics, who are also at risk for that because of high sugar levels? The article says more than that, though.

I think it's one of those things where there may be connections but they need more investigation? And certain things that T1 makes you more prone to also increase the likelihood of B12 deficiency?

I have had mine checked occasionally, just to be on the safe side.... So far I've been fine.
