Do You Have Diabetes And Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is commonly found in people with diabetes. I have had both of these illnesses for several years. My A1C levels are usually high. But along with that, I have tender joints and terrible pain.

If you have both of these what are some of the symptoms you are dealing with? Diane (Team Member)

  1. Recently I cut back on my sugar intake because I was experiencing pain flare ups in old injuries. Not sure if that's related but I thought I'd mention.

    1. , thanks for the great information. It is very helpful. If I could give up sugar, I would be so happy. I bet I couldn't even stick to an elimination diet. I am not that disciplined. These are some great tips as always. Diane (Team Member)

    2. I imagine that if it was life and death, you could easily. You just don't have that severe of motivation 😀

  2. , I loved what you said, and you are right. I don't have that severe of motivation. Well, today will be the first day for the rest of my life. Thanks for motivating me, Diane (Team Member)
