I have a brilliant wife, and a 6 year old energetic daughter. This is hard for me to write as I’ve had a long hard time of it for the past 6 years.


We don’t know whether I have diabetes. Around the time my daughter was born, we had a series of bad issues. My best friend attempted suicide in our shared flat (I had taken 2 weeks off as he was manically depressed). The day I went back to work he attempted that, and his mother blamed me for not being there. My gran died. My wife’s stepdad died. I lost my job. I injured back and arm powerlifting. They found an issue with my heart, some genetic issue my dad had.

Since then I haven’t worked and I’ve been a stay at home dad. I stopped exercising and put on weight. I had no energy and felt terrible, so they decided I have depression (now it’s been reassessed to PTSD from childhood trauma) and after many tests they said I have fibromyalgia. I had a series of doctors tell me if it wasn’t for the diabetes tests, they would definitely think it was diabetes. All my symptoms are that of diabetes- my grandfather had it terribly. I’ve done as most ‘fibromyalgia’ people do and try a billion different things to have more energy and less pain.

But does anybody have a name for what I have? My blood readings say I don’t have diabetes but they are surprised I don’t have it and obviously it cannot be treated as diabetes unless it ticks the right box. Could anybody help me?
