Suggest Treatment For Type 1 Diabetes
43 year old female type 1 diabetic for 30 yrs. smoker. On plavix,snthroid ,Crestor and lisopril to protect kidneys. I have been having problems with not being able to eat much for feeling of fullness. Also seems like my stomach swells when I do eat and feel like squishing going on in stomach when I do eat. And at times have bad spells with explosive diarrhea. Sometimes wake up and have messed all over myself. What may be the problem to ask to be checked for.
