Can type 1 diabetes cause headaches and migraines?

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.
