My first diagnosis was very dramatic, was an emergency case - UK 999! Confused and out of sorts, had no symptoms. I felt weird and spoke to my hubs who did the FACE tests, I realised he thought I’d had a stroke and my First Aid kicked in and said ‘phone the ambulance’! Ended up in hospital for a...

I follow a Low carb protein diet for the past 5 years and what the others have said, too many carbs in your meal. Even though I’ve followed the Low Carb diet I’m still learning and not got all the answers either. I try not to start a meal later than 7pm, looking at the length of fasting time...

I was hoping for more people experiencing diabetes, arrhythmia here so I might be able to get some information. I have Type 2 diabetes and Type 1 Haemochromatosis - C282Y & H63D Compound Variant. I found an elderly post that sadly appears not to be active where I posted the below comments. I was...

I have Type 1 Haemochromatosis: I have 2 genes, H282Y & H63D Compound Variant. It doesn’t arrive in older age, you inherit the genes. It affects men more and sooner than women because of women's menstrual cycle, but after the menopause many women start having more symptoms. There are different...

I’d switched to brown rice, pasta etc before I knew I was diabetic thinking it was better for you and it probably is if you're not diabetic
