Hi
I was diagnosed about 18mths ago at age 41 and am trying to see if there are any common factors between us that might have led to the auto immune disease causing T1DM.
Some things from me for a starter for ten:
A couple of years earlier I was diagnosed with depression following a series of things which brought me to my knees and left me unable to cope particularly well with normal life. I am on Citalopram 40mg.
In the few months leading up to T1 diagnosis, after a medical examination to check my bowels it was discovered I had high BP, so was put on Candesartan 8mg.
A suggestion in Volek and Phinney's Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living suggests Statins may be a causal factor of diabetes though - as far as I've read - doesn't specify type. I have also been on statins since a bit the time I have been on BP tablets.
Grateful to see if anyone else's stories match or just to hear from you.
