[QUOTE="Icewing, post: 943553, member: 207795"] I didn't have any of the typical symptoms. I was having abnormal heart rhythm so I went the Dr and he ran some tests it turned out I had diabetes and the heart problem was due to an autonomic neuropathy which indicated that I must have had diabetes for about 10 years before diagnosis, I also had an eye examination and it showed that I had retinopathy too which required laser treatment. A few years later I had to retire from work as an I T Specialist due to me loss of eyesight, I have been retired for 12 years now and everything has just got worse - I hate this disease :( Look after yourself folks before you get any damage.
