Here goes: am not taking any heart meds, unable to metabolize. Waiting for investigations for autonomic failure, adrenal failure, and diabetes. \Diagnosed with POTS some years back, but now seems other autonomic dysfunction, since upon standing it either drops by more than thirty or shoots...

My heart failure worsened, my GP phoned to say the BNP was over 600, that this carries a poor prognosis. He is re referred me to an endo, re: diabetes or other, and autonomic neurologist, because my BP goes down by more than 30 when standing up. So, YES, I am worried. Plus I had acute...

About adrenal function, I didn't have to synacthen test, because I react to so many pharmaceutical products, but yes, good point...any advice.

Because I have typical symptoms of diabetes, and my blood sugar level spikes up, I kept a log, sometimes up to 13 plus. Always 7 plus fasting in the morns.. and also, the heart failure has worsened, and horrid neuro pains, and electrical shocks in the body. I don't think doctors know enough...

Sadly, your story is more common that is known. The fact is that the UK record of diagnosing serious life threatening illnesses is much lower than any other Western countries, where people are diagnosed much too late. Few escape this culling. I believe its a political strategy that costs many...

I have an endo appointment tomorrow for a second opinion. Yes, literally playing Russian Roulette here. I have to eat every two hours, whilst having intense hunger symptoms, sweating, faint like symptoms, and arrythmias. The first endo I saw a few months ago refused to do a glucose challenge...

Yes, I did, but none the wiser, same with GP. Sent to endo, who refused to do the glucose tolerance test. Meanwhile, feeling very unwell, unable to stand up, with all mentioned symptoms. Phoning the GP brings no results either. Will chase up if I have strenght, the second opinion referal...

But how do doctors differentiate between T1 & T2? Upon what would they diagnose???

But what does it mean if serum glucose spikes up over 10 two hours after meal? Is it T1 or T2?

Totally agree, there have been links with medications, vaccines, EMF contrast dye, pesticides, and neurotoxins from air pollution, additives in foods, causing diabetes. ...

Undiagnosed with very severe symptoms, kept a log of my blood sugar level. For the last few days, hardly able to stand up, lying down. Yesterday, felt as if blacking out, same today. I took my blood glucose level two hours after eating. It was 10.3 I had chickpeas, olives, cheese and...

Based on the BS data & symptoms, are they ty[pical of Diabetes Type 1 or Type 2 Is this how yours fluctuate? With similar symptoms? Could it be another disease entirely, which can also cause fluctuations in BS, and same symptoms as diabetes? Symptoms of abnormal hunger pangs, dizziness...

According to on going basic theory, type 2 diabetes, is when the patient produces insulin, but it does not attach to receptors, and type 1 not producing insulin? I did in depth research some years back, and gave up, ended up in a maze without exit. The one thing I consider most important is to...

The theory about diabetes is an ongoing debate, as with other diseases, as are tests for diabetes, reference range, and diagnosis. In trth doctors know very little....As for hba1c test, this is also not a reliable marker, again, on going debate. I tend to follow instinctual need towards...

Hi Bebo: thanks for the reply. Will keep it for a couple of weeks, there is so little known about that diabetes, that staying within the confines of regulations and guidelines can be deadly!! It may be worth keeping a log for one month, to see a pattern emerge. Same with other diseases, and...
