[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2266218, member: 521172"] Wow, this is interesting. My GP became concerned about my blood sugars back in 2011 back when I was pretty fit and playing football twice a weekend plus training. In my younger days I also played a lot of tennis and whilst my arms and legs have never had any blubber on them even when at my fittest I always carried weight around the gut and chin. No matter what I eat and no matter how much I exercise I can never shift it and it's become more difficult anyway no I'm 51!! Even when I quit the booze a few years ago I was expecting the pounds to drop off but nope!! So this thread has intrigued me because I have suffered from IBS since I was about 18, although now pretty ok with meds. However when I got checked out again last year I was told my gut was inflamed possibly due to diverticulitis. I had to quit football due to arthritic hips back in around 2011. I have also suffered seriously from ongoing vertigo attacks since I was 21 which last year was finally "diagnosed" as vestibular hypofunction. Just googled vertigo and it says [B]Vertigo[/B] is relatively frequent in [B]autoimmune diseases[/B]; however, it is often misdiagnosed or attributed to central nervous system alterations rather to specific inner ear involvement. I also picked up tinnitus back in 2011. So diabetes, high blood pressure, tinnitus and arthritis all diagnosed in 2011! You do wonder!! [/QUOTE]
