[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1229565, member: 85785"] My second post in reply to yours, was my life was going to hell in a basket and no doctor and even an endocrinologist knew what was going on. I found another endocrinologist after over ten years of being unwell with multiple problems, struggling to get an answer to why, it was that was making me so ill, but not knowing, was awful, I call it my hypo hell. No matter what I did, what diet, what the hell was making me fat and losing my mind and my life. I was lucky to find someone who knew what was happening and an answer to my horrific symptoms, which included anxiety, a touch of depression, weight gain, loss of memory and continuous hunger, many others!! it was because I was having fluctuating blood glucose levels and hypers and hypos. I felt enormous relief at finally being diagnosed. I had a hospital stay and loads of tests. Which confirmed my endocrinologist diagnosis. I learnt a lot from him. But I learnt more on this forum. Together they saved my life. They and a couple of posters showed me how to control my condition. How to live my life again. I got my life back! I've never been as fit as this for over forty years! I'm healthier than I could have imagined. I'm back in full time and more working! I travel without worrying around the country supporting my local football club. Football is now my only sin! Can't drink, can't smoke, can't eat carbs, because I'm intolerant to them. No chip butties, no roasties, no rice with curries, you get the picture! But I'm happy, I'm allowed to live my life. I have four kids, seven grandkids, and hopefully ill be around to see my great grandkids. I fully intend to. My condition will not beat me. I can only offer my story as an inspiration to find something or someone to give you an excuse to live your life again. It's never too late. This forum will help and inspire you. There is always some new twist to the diabetes umbrella, New conditions to understand, as is often said, we are all different. Learn from those who know how to get control. And as I said, get your life back! Sorry about the sermon! [/QUOTE]
