Chest pain at that age is most often due to indigestion/reflux of stomach contents in the swallow tube. The junction with the stomach is located just behind and left of the heart. It is often a gnawing or sudden pain & can sometimes be recreated if you press over the site. Avoiding caffeine & not laying down after feeds helps. Discuss this with her docs.

You did not say how long she has had DM 1. My hunch is she has neuropathy. Check monofilament test with her Drs. Also check seated standing and exercise BP.

A neurology evaluation may be indicated. Monitor her temperature, screen for COVID-19, and keep her well hydrated. A metabolic panel may be ordered by your Watch for shortness of breath.
