[QUOTE="PXN, post: 1785988, member: 473707"] Hello all, In June 2016 I was sent to hospital with all the symptoms of Diabetic Ketoacidosis and was diagnosed as a Type 1 despite at the time been over 60 years old. I was instructed to measure my sugars, inject fast acting insulin four times a day and slow insulin once before going to bed. I had my first appointment with a specialist about six months later who changed the treatment to Janumet pills during the day but still injecting insulin at night. After about six months I went to see my general practitioner complaining I felt awful and constantly tired. She gave me some referrals to get a blood and stress test - I think that involves the bicycle, mask and pipes - none of which I did deciding to take matters into my own hands. I stopped taking all medication, brought a mountain bike on ebay and cut anything sugary from my diet. After a few months of this and making pain my friend, the hills here in the Blue Mountains, Australia are horrendous, I began feeling much better and now can easily do 100 kms of mountain trails and have lost over twenty kilos and counting. My general practitioner canceled my drivers license when I missed an appointment and now I have to do the stress and blood tests to get it back. I should, not having taken any medication for now well over a year, be dead if the original diagnosis was correct. Lesson here and I'll post updates if anyone is interested, is that and I think for all whether type 1, 2 or type not-a-diabetic is to get active and not fear pain and just stop eating rubbish. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
