Our daughter has had Type 1 diabetes since the age of 6. She is 19 years old now. Around 13 years of age she was also diagnosed with myoclonic epilepsy. We are having a very hard time stabilizing her blood sugars. Please, I beg you to let me know if there are any other diabetic/epileptics out there.

I am 27 years old and have had diabetes since I was 4. I have type 1. I recently have had shortness of breath. Every time I go to the doctor (every 3-4 months) he asks if I have shortness of breath and at this last visit I said no because I hadn’t had any. What does this mean and what should I do?

I started pumping about four months ago, but as soon as I began pumping, I immediately gained 20 pounds. I know it’s normal to gain weight on an intensive insulin therapy, but I’m bloated and have pain. Could this be because of my celiac disease which is been untreated for years.
