[QUOTE="Mal, post: 7607, member: 343"] [color=#000080][b]I discovered I was diabetic four years ago by accident! I was diagnosed with cataracts, which took the sight from my right eye and affected my left eye too. As one of the standard tests at the clinic they requested a urine sample, this showed the presence of glucose and they asked if I was diabetic? Having never been diagnosed I said No. Anyway, it was then found, by my cardiologist, that I am diabetic and the cataracts were a result! Fortunately I have now had surgery to remove the cataracts and have lens implants that mean I no longer need specs. I now take 1,000mg of Metformin 3 x daily but my diabetes is unstable and my readings are anywhere between 3 and 20. However, I do wonder though if my four heart attacks, compromised heart valve and other health problems can also be attributed to undiagnosed diabetes or are a result of Ankylosing Spondylitis?? Anybody know a good vet??? [/b][/color] [/QUOTE]
