A member asked:

If type one diabetic misses insulin for some time gets back on it and feels a lot of pain in arms & sometimes legs... what could it be, is it related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not type 1?: Patients with type 1 diabetes can't miss Insulin for some time without getting seriously ill and even dying.
