[QUOTE="PXN, post: 1797671, member: 473707"] No worries mate and of course people should stick to what the experts say but not feel intimidated into not asking questions and if necessary feeling free to get a second opinion. The human machine is incredibly complicated! Anyway - latest is I saw the GP and had a long discussion with her about my experience to date and she agreed that stress [I]could have[/I] been a contributing trigger of what is most likely a type 2 condition. I think that given what is shaping up as an epidemic of type 2 all factors should be considered including mental health. I think and not just because it's my biological machine that is experiencing difficulties, that determining exactly what happened in my case is important - I'm for sure not alone and given the apparent lack of understanding of the link between mental health and diabetes it's important I make it a bit of a mission to continue drilling down to what happened and what is the best treatment. I will discuss all this with the specialist in July and hopefully we will be able to arrive at a treatment regime that minimizes medication and has a strong focus on diet, exercise and stress relief strategies such as increasing the amount of time I spend practicing Iaido. A few hours of swinging a sword around and chopping bamboo and you feel incredibly good in brain and body - even if such culturally foreign activities causes the hipster neighbor to scoop up his kids and rush inside... Cheers. [/QUOTE]
