hi I'm type 1 diabetic and i take nova rapid and lantus. I always have fluid rentention in my legs and tummy. My doctors have always said this isn't linked to diabetes but I@ve since found out that that its more than likely to be the cause!! does anyone else suffer form this?? any idea how to get rid of it???

Try walking as someone else suggested and elevating your legs when you're not walking the wine rack (aim for them to be OVER your heart; if this isn't possible, lay flat with a few pillows under them). "They" always say all sorts of things aren't tied to your diabetes, but think about it this way: Diabetes is a disruption of a fundamental homeostatic process (metabolism). What wouldn't it affect honestly? Good luck, M
