[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 972599, member: 196557"] I think this is really common! The first thing when we get some kind of medical symptom is "it's because of the diabetes" I complained to my doctor about fatigue and aches for so long and was just told it's because my bloods weren't balanced. It wasn't until I was in agony and out of breath walking for 10 minutes that he did the blood test to check for other issues - now I pop a folic acid pill everynight and feel so much better!! And from reading some of the posts on here we're often guilty of it ourselves - it seems many of us check if other diabetics get the symptoms before we think of looking what else it could be. I dread the day I see a post saying "Does anyone else get chest pains and shortness of breath?" No, you're having a heart attack!! [/QUOTE]
