Sorry bit of of a long one, but slowly giving up..... i have been T1 for 20yrs and admittedly was not good in the early years, every now and then i become very ill, i know when this is going to happen as i get distinctive smell of rotten eggs in my breath! i become very hot and then teeth chattering cold followed by D & V, this happens very quickly within a 1hr and goes, but takes a good week to recover, some occasion an ambulance has been called as i have collapsed. most recent i was admitted to hospital and the doctors were very thorough, but all they could say was that i had an infection and they could not find out the location and gave my a dose of antibiotics. my blood sugars go a little haywire during this and my blood pressure also drops very low. to add i was also told the latest bout has had an damaging affect to my kidneys, like i needed another challenge!
I have spoken to the diabetic clinic and also my GP which all say it is a infection, but as i say this happen on a regular basis and know one else in the family catches it. I'm at a loss.
Just wondering is any one has experienced anything like this and if anyone can offer any advice? i also suffer from Autonomic Neuropathy and recently changed my diet to gluten and dairy free.
thank you for your time.
