[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2219193, member: 85785"] My wife has diabetes, and I don't! I would be remiss not to learn about T2 and RH! Another condition which is classed as Hypoglycaemia, but there are different types! I have' 'Late Reactive Hypoglycaemia' Up until the turn of the last decade, all the relevant Hypoglycaemia conditions were termed as 'Idiopathic Hypoglycaemia' because they didn't know why a non diabetic went hypo! I have been classed as prediabetic, T2, mainly because my doctors didn't have a clue why, I was putting on weight, feeling awful, despite my hba1c and fasting levels were in normal range!! I now have a true diagnosis, a quite rare one, it was of some relief to actually get that diagnosis. The hard battle of finding a treatment that helped control my blood glucose levels was the next big step. As medical knowledge improves about how diabetes is diagnosed, and labels attached are changed because of how patients become diabetic, as has already begun. The differential diagnosis between those T2s, will help with treatment. Having to battle with doctors to actually get someone who understood what was going on, was a big relief to me. After a decade, it did seem to me, that being passed on by these medical practitioners, I would never have the answers! I was ill, and not one of the many doctors had a clue why! A label, like I have helped me! Do you know why you have diabetes? [/QUOTE]
