Message: <blockquote data-quote="ann34+" data-source="post: 1007349" data-attributes="member: 94348"><p>I also thought my dieting days were over!  Also saw an optician and told sight perfect!  It is the accommodation that goes in undiagnosed diabetes., also felt ill and unwell, at 25 i thought this must be what growing old feels like, so tired stopped work, developed a bad back as muscles not strong, told to run round the local park by GP, as a veggie tested for iron, that was fine. sent to rheumatology, always freezing, wearing long striped sox, consultant joked and asked what football team i played for and could not understand it when i said i could hardly carry a bottle of milk upstairs. Letter came back suggesting i might have some sort of mind problem and aversion to housework, got no where with medics, on constant repeat prescriptions for thrush meds, and 2 years later in life threatening diabetic coma at 30,  told so ill that would take a year or two to feel better, Long long time ago, hoped things would have been better in 21st century.  in young adults  bone should be being built up, undiagnosed Type one diabetes is thought to interfere with this, in hospital this was not at the time known but when a bone marrow was done the consultant was called to do it , i heard them say my bones were like butter. no internet or Diabetes Forum then. Lost a lot of trust in doctors</p></blockquote><p></p>
