Quick update. Saw my consultant today; he seems to think Addison’s disease is probable. His reasoning is low 9am cortisol, coupled with symptoms and hypoglycaemia. I have to admit, I’m not convinced personally. A key symptom of Addison’s is weight loss; I struggled seriously with losing /...

I’ll give that sub-forum a read. I’m sure I’ll find the answer in there, but is such an intolerance something you can develop pretty suddenly as an adult (this goes back to my early 30s)?

Thanks again, both. Regards the libre graphs, I’ve noticed that I can predict when I’m going to get a notification on my phone (that my glucose is below 3.9) by the way I feel. I know if I start getting shaky or this kind of tired, turgid feeling in my midriff and my concentration starts to...

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Lamont. I really appreciate that. Please feel free not to answer, but may I ask what condition you have been diagnosed with and how it makes / made you feel generally (i.e. outside of any spikes / drops in blood sugar)? I feel pretty ill generally...

Thanks Kenny, appreciate the response and apologies for any naivety or ignorance on my part in my original post. Looking back at my latest HbA1c, my result is 35 mmol/mol, which is apparently ‘normal’ but lower than the range you reference above. Could it be too low? Diet wise, I tend to stick...

Ok, so I haven’t been diagnosed with any kind of diabetic illness, and I’ve returned several normal HBA1c tests. So, what am I doing here? I’ll try and explain as succinctly as possible. I’m a 37 year old guy, father of two, and a few years ago I decided to lose a bit of weight. At the time I...
