[QUOTE="TopoGigi, post: 592638, member: 38211"] Hi I have had Autonomic Neuropathy for 30 years which started with what you're describing Postural Hypotension, certain situations do make it worse like today for instance "The HOT weather " my blood pressure has been in my boots today so I can sympathise with. Unfortunately it is not talked about enough in the Diabetic community. I have many other aspects of AN which have affected many other organs and systems in my body. I was referred by my Cardiologist to a Autonomic Unit in London last year and have only just been in as an inpatient for testing and further treatment but as you can see it was a hell of a long wait. Fludrocortisone is one line of treatment, it certainly should make you feel better, you could ask to see a Neurologist. PS I was Type 1 Diabetic, I say was had a Pancreas Transplant 17 years ago so now insulin independent but still experiencing Diabetic complications, i make the most of things and stay positive always.
