Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Good day.
Sorry to hear about your daughter. There are many conditions to rule out as the cause of nausea.
Main one is diabetic gastroparesis. In this the persitaltic movements of intestine is slower and food tend to stay back in stomach. Another important thing in a Type 1 DM with nausea is to rule out low cortisol levels. Get her pottasium and BP checked. It may be better to check her cortisol levels. Discuss ths with your GP/Endocrinologist.
Another cause is acid reflux which can occur in a diabetic patient.
The way to go is to meet an endocrinologist and gastroenterologist
