Hi all, I have been a member of this forum since my problems first began last year and it has been invaluable and the only thing that has got me through.I have had a long road to diagnosis, beginning wth awful bouts of oral thrush and many hypoglycemic episodes with no medication! I think I must be a kind of freak diabetic.Quick background, been a runner since the age of 15 (used to compete) always very active, in fact I dont stop lol, always ate healthily, dont drink ( but am a smoker despite my running).The question is How The Heck, at 38, have I got Diabetes, High BP, and High Cholesterol??? Started Glicazide for Type 2 (for the moment) they are doing genetic testing for MODY and other tests for LADA but said treatment wll still be needed no matter what. Also been put on Ramipril for high BP.I am really at a loss and very disheartened, my other half never exercised, is overweight,smokes,drinks and guess what, he is fine, there is no sense to it.Could years of prolonged stress be the cause of it all?
