[QUOTE="World Hereafter, post: 351779, member: 52158"] Diagnosed 3 months ago, but almost certainly had Diabetes for longer, but was never tested (incredibly - given my symptoms!!). Have already got Neuropathy, mostly affecting feet, plus kidney issues last 2/3 years. Also lots of other symptoms/ongoing health issues past 6 years (some of which I'm sure are down to the Diabetes). Still awaiting a Retinopathy screening. I've learned a lot from this forum since being diagnosed (was given almost no info by HCP's at the time)... but am still a little bit confused as to what specifically/really causes the damage/complications... is it the frequency of high BG spikes after food? or is it the level of those spikes (i.e. how high they go above 7.8)? Or is it the longer term averages of higher (over 7.8?) BG's? or is it having high HbA1C's (above 6.5)? :think: [/QUOTE]
