Message: <blockquote data-quote="AussieJen" data-source="post: 2745611" data-attributes="member: 595451">Hello I am new to the forum, which looks very informative and helpful. I recently was diagnosed with hyperplastic vertebral marrow and red marrow reconversion via MRI after chronic and acute back and leg pain.  I’m wondering if anyone else has experience with this condition.My brief background:I was diagnosed 20 years ago with T2.  Recently things went haywire and I was hospitalised with persistent BGLs over 30.  Commenced insulin June 2024, had to keep increasing doses over the months to finally achieve ok control.  Using a CGM over the last 2 months as I have major swings including some scary hypos.  The CGM reduces my anxiety about hypos quite dramatically, particularly as I’d never had them pre-insulin.Back pain:After other scans, recently had MRI looking for potential nerve impact.  Not surprisingly I have a bulging disc, but also suggests hyperplastic vertebral marrow and red marrow reconversion.  Never heard of it, nor have my family and friends.  GP says it is basically hyperactive marrow trying to produce enough cells and that it can be caused by diabetes.  We havent checked B12, iron for a while, which I’ll do soon (I was initially hospitalised with unexplained severe anaemia in April but it subsequently improved).  This is only one of some complex issues we are working through.I havent been able asked the diabetes clinic for any information or insights they may have on it.I haven’t been able to find much information on the condition, especially in connection with diabetes.  If anyone has some info or experience, any help in pointing me to information would be much appreciated.Thank you.</blockquote>
