A. I have had type 1 since I was 16 yrs old and have had migraines as well . It is because your sugar goes too high and puts excess pressure on your brain cells causing exspansion of them and that is what causes the migraines . I got this info from my dr and also I got a prescription for sumatriptan and it does help but makes you very drowsy and you cannot do anything after that .

What can I do to help my best friend who has diabetes?
Q. He is 13 and has type 1 diabetes. We are really close and he is always talking about it (how it sucks to have it). I really want to help him because he seems so helpless. I need info. Ex. What do i do if he needs help like if he does not have his insulator?
A. Treating and managing diabetes is difficult enough without the added pain of pinprick blood monitoring and painful insulin injections. The number of times a diabetic has to test blood sugar levels and administer insulin depends on their individual diabetic situation. Although diabetes cures and permanent treatments are on the horizon, for the moment accurate and diligent prevention strategies are the key to managing diabetes successfully. Two areas in particular cause diabetics pain � administering insulin and monitoring the blood.
