Hi
Was diagnosed on my birthday last October when I went into hospital in a diabetic coma. Pretty traumatic - life support, kidney failure, couldn't walk or talk. It's a few months on now and I am getting back into life. People wouldn't know anything was wrong with me if they passed me on the street. I have come a long way but still fragile. I am finding my memory has been affected. There are many gaps from the last few years. I have some interviews coming up soon. I just feel so vulnerable because I am still finding out what my brain is capable of. I know there will be some questions I can't answer because I don't remember things. Am trying so hard to stick to a low carb diet to keep the pancreas function going. The kidneys are normal now. I feel like i have a cold all the time. I got labryinthtis last month which seems to be sticking around. It's been really difficult as I used to be fit and look after others in my job. I have had **** experiences - you really find out who you can rely on when the chips are down. The information on this forum has been brilliant. I am so grateful for all the experience shared. It's so good when someone else understands what you are going through. It is very tough.
