[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2089152, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=510054]@Bnar[/USER], Sorry to hear you are not feeling 100%. And from my experience as a TID, not as health professional advice or opinion: From what you have posted i am most surprised that your doctor would ignore protein appearing in your urine. There are tests which can further sort out what is happening there. I have heard that some blood tests may not detect kidney problems until up to 50% of the total kidney function is affected. Given your doctor's apparently casual response you may wish to seek another opinion, as suggested by [USER=475037]@Marie 2[/USER] . With the prescence of protein in your urine, i have learnt that a thorough eye check is often relevant as sometimes the problem with both is problems with small blood vessels in each organ. However it is difficult to envisage ( excuse the pun) any eye problem being the cause of your malaise IMO. Not sure whether you have had any pulse and blood pressure readings, lying down and then after standing for a good 5 minutes. My endocrinologist performs these to check whether my nervous system us keeping my pulse and blood pressure responsive to changes in posture. He tells me that a drop of 20 mmHg or more between laying down and standing and a failure of pukse tonrise may indicate some form ifof nerve damage and this damage can also lead to stomach problems including onset of reflux. Perhaps look at mayoclinic.org and - autonomic neuropathy, - reflux esophagitis ( Americal spelling) and - gatroparesis. Now if you look up causes of malaise there is a multitude of possibilities and really the need for a specialist who can consider all the causes, whittle the number down and investigate the most likely culprits is going to be the most expeditious course - if my experience as a patient is anything to go by. I am unsure how easy such a direction would be for you and whether you can really afford to wait until seeing your endocrinologist. If a new GP or even your current one is prepared to do a few more tests and then speak directly with your endocrinologist a an action plan could be expedited. You have noted your world has changed with no idea whether things will automatically resolve or get far worse. And as they say, Prevention is better than Cure.. The issue of how it may be possible to obtain a better HBAIC with little or no hypos is a discussion for another day. Suffice to say quite a number of TIDs have achieved this. But for now i would suggest please look after yourself by getting things further sorted without delay. BestvWishes and please keep asking questions and letting us know how you fare.:):):) [/QUOTE]
