[QUOTE="peter_s, post: 1130629, member: 31798"] Several developments since my last post. I have had some strange symptoms, and have been told by two doctors that I am experiencing hypoglycaemic attacks during the night, and must keep some sugary drink handy. This is on no medication at all. Latest Hba1c, non fasting, because it was really a ferritin test, was 52. Latest info on here was that the treatment for "bronze" (i.e. haemochromatosis induced) diabetes is venesection, i.e. as I have been doing since diagnosed with Genetic Haemochromatosis. It obviously reduces my Hba1c just by taking out blood. However, I am still trying to get the schedule right; I had three venesections in just over two weeks, which really hit me hard and I feel brought on a bad bout of flu, due to reduced resistance. I can't just have vitamin C, it enhances iron absorption. [/QUOTE]
