Question 1

can type 1 diabetes cause headaches and migraines?

Accepted Answer

Yes: High sugars in blood mean that the body is unable to use glucose. So, body and brain are starving for glucose. The body in response attempts to use glucose via other methods. Byproduct such as ketones build up. These can lead to a diabetic coma. Some people get headaches or nausea or sleepy or blurry vision or almost any symptom.

Question 2

can type 1 diabetes cause really bad anger outbursts?

Accepted Answer

No, Possibly Reverse: As embodied souls, mind, emotions & brain control body, millions of signals/sec, with corresponding feedback. Thus, though complex, the opposite is a bit more likely. While someone with type 1 might be appreciative that a hormone they are no longer able to manufacture is available to help them stay alive; they are also likely to find monitoring & adjusting frequent injections a pain; promote anger.

Accepted Answer

Stress/emotions : Stress/emotions etc. Can raise a person's blood sugar levels, however not high enough where they need to avoid these emotions! your friend needs to realize that her son will live with this disease for the rest of his life, and the more she makes him feel restricted, especially regarding human nature, the more likely he will rebel. This could ultimately lead to resenment regarding  his disease and he could end much more worse off because of this. The bottom line, let him cry it out if that is what he's inclined to do!

Question 9

if you have type 1 diabetes, will juice cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Depends: I seldom recommend juices any more because I consider them little more than flavored sugar water.The potential health benefits are over sold,as you can get the nutrients in a calorie free pill.As a practical issue, a small amount of juice,as part of balanced nutrition, is fine for most, including diabetics.However, I have treated  many chubby kids who dropped 10 lb/yr by just eliminating juices.
