Hi. I am 54 and have been a type 1 diabetic since my early twenties. My sugar levels have fluctuated for the past few years and I am now on an insulin pump. I have problems with my eyes - retinopathy etc and I am having Lucentis injections to both eyes on a regular basis. I also neuropathy in both feet and lower limbs which has led to Charcot foot in my right foot for the past 12 months. I have also had problems with arrhythmia so had an ablation earlier this year which seems to have helped. I also have ED and have now been told that I may have gastropareis or gluten intolerance for which I am now awaiting tests.
My sugar levels are all over the place for no apparent reasons with lows (2.7) and highs (19.7). I have no hypo awareness so I test regularly. Has anybody else had same problems and do you think it could be Brittle diabetes, Double diabetes or something else?
