Kidney Transplants.

I am totally convinced that high stress levels brought on my diabetes. There seems to be a consensus that I have probably had T2 all y adult life. Because I have alwys been slim active and followed a GI diet
there were no, or very few symptopms. I was aware that there was a genetic link but even when I felt that some symptoms were linked to diabetes my GP;s wouldn't believe it.
Eventually I collapsed ith a food allergy after a particularly stressful period with BG levels of 32. I am totally convinced sress was the cause.

I was screened for diabetes (with the dreaded Lucosade) & was not at risk. That was about 5 years before I was diagnosed.

I then had a road accident - overtaking a frog lorry driver (steering wheel on the wrong side) who changed lanes obviously without looking in his mirror. His os front corner hit my ns rear wing & spun my car across the front of his tanker so the main damage was on his ns corner & my ns central door pillar. My car spun from the hard shoulder across all 3 lanes to the centre, & back again across all 3 lanes to the hard shoulder, where a sloping bank guided me back onto the hard shoulder to stop safely.

We weren't hurt, Praise the Lord, & the car was still drivable but we were in a state of shock. That was about 2 years before diagnosis. Stress the cause? I thought so.
