[QUOTE="Adele99, post: 593890, member: 47601"] Yes I do all things considered and certainly compared to many others my age. But I don't think I was as badly affected as you seem to be when first diagnosed with it. When I was first told I had it, I was still working full time. If you don't mind me asking how stable are your blood sugar levels? And have they checked your blood sodium levels. Because I find if my blood levels are very high eg in the 20s which can happen with me sometimes then I'll feel extremely dizzy, faint, weak etc. If blood sugar levels are on and off high then your electrolyte balance also goes out the window ,causing low sodium levels which can also make you feel very weak and dizzy when you first stand up. Either of these things could be making things a whole load worse for you. Think you should get a double appointment with your GP and talk through with him how difficult you're finding things , and ask him to explain things better. [/QUOTE]
