[QUOTE="peter_s, post: 880374, member: 31798"] Is anyone else suffering with these three genetically related conditions? There is very little research available on the web. One paper does describe the diabetes produced by Haemochromatosis as "Therapy Resistant". It sure is. The usual tablets, Metformin and Gliclazide, minimum doses, made me really ill. Even without them, I have most of the symptoms of Hypoglaecemia (yes, hypo) frequently, especially at night. However, my meter says I am mostly above 8.0, although I have never managed to try it during the night. Hba1c tests were steady around 7.2% until the last, but my Ferritin results were pretty improbable too, and reported to me as different numbers at different times. Any advice is welcome. I'm not overweight, don't drink, never drank much, like 5 units a year, never smoked. Gluten-free diet over 30 years. Are the test results reliable when my blood iron is high? After the terrible results with tablets, especially Gliclazide, I really don't want to go on Insulin, too afraid of a real Hypo. Thanks, Peter [/QUOTE]
