[QUOTE="Shecat, post: 1232566, member: 136170"] Sorry I am late replying. Very interesting thread because I became Diabetic at age 18 when I was so thin I fitted into young girls jeans! I was told I was a Type 2 so I am 51 years of age now and last month I was in hospital because I collapsed and was told I am a Type 1 and was misdiagnosed, all those years ago wth!!!! I am freaked out about this and feel the Drs should have known better, I was only put on Insulin 6 years ago after battling illnesses and my blood sugars for all those years when if if been put into Insulin at age 18 I would have had a much easier time of it. Diabetes runs in my family both Type 1 and Type 2, I always school new Drs in my history of this because it is very important they know but I was let down. The management for Type 1 v Type 2 varies a bit but not so much so they say, I have yet to find that out. I know my mismanagement which led to disgusting high sugar levels for years and very many arguments with different Drs has led to my feet being riddled with Neuropathy, bad circulation where my feet are generally blue or purplish and freezing cold with very little feeling left in them along with other issues but my feet scare me the most, I fell down some stairs in the house 2 months ago and burst my foot open just under my toes, I didn't know until my dog started to lick my sock and I saw it was blood soaked, good boy! The other matter that upsets me is remember I told you I collapsed and ended up in hospital earlier, it turns out I have just been diagnosed with Addisons Disease, this upsets me because I've been told one Autoimmune Disease can cause another, Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder see my connection! I almost died but thank God I'm still here :) [/QUOTE]
