Hello Doctor,
I am a young adult female. I have had Juenile diabetes for about 13 years now and lead as I would describe a normal life. It was difficult at first to regulate my glucose and other effects but evenutally I was able to control the disease- my glucose levels, eating on time and medicine intake. However, I was diagnosed with hypertension recently and on medication for it. As I got older, my symptoms changed as well, whether it was signs of low or high gluscose, energy levels etc. I plan on discussing this with my doctor. However, what I was really interested in is, as a type 1 diabetic, what is the best choice for contraception. I dont want to create new issues with my disease but I want to transition into a new stage in my life. (p.s I am not planning on becoming pregnant right now.) Can you help?
