I am a type 1 diabetic. I am on an insulin pump. I am 25 years old and I have been a [diagnosed] diabetic for 10 years. I have been on my pump for 2 years.
I am worried becuase I have a recurring sore throat. I do not have tonsils. I had them removed when I was 17. I went to the doctor and the strep test was negative. I was given 10 days of amoxicillin. It has been 1 week since I finished my antibiotics...
The top/back of my throat is beginnig to swell again. It is extremely dry! It is hard to swallow. The corners of my mouth are cracked/splitting. I am not that hungry, which is not good for a type 1 who needs to eat! I am also really tired and have horrible night sweats to where I have to get up and change my pajamas and the bed sheets. My blood glucose has been a little high, too.
I think my body is trying to fight off something, but I don't know what????
I am going back to the doctor soon, but I DO NOT want to hear, "It's just a virus."
Please help!
