[QUOTE="bambee3, post: 1044417, member: 210783"] Hi, I am ? t1 ?t2 they can't make their minds up. I have been ? diabetic since I was 16yrs and 9mths old. No treatment or confirmation of diabetes until I was 35yrs old. I am now 55. I had my large bowel removed in 1999 which they now are sure is related to Autonomic nervous system dysfunction diagnosed a couple of years ago. My bowel would contract and not work. When this happened they were ? my autonomic system back then but nobody mentioned this to me. I have lost control over my blood pressure and heart rate due to the autonomic nervous system dysfunction which means my heart rate has been as high as 150 + beats/min and my BP has crashed as low as 40/50 this is the lowest recorded we know of. I am prone to passing out with little or no warning and have to be careful. I also have dupuytrens in both hands, so far not progressing much since diagnosed a couple of years ago. Due to having no large bowel I have to keep my fibre intake low. My eyes thank God are still reasonably ok. some minor changes only. I have glasses for distance and have for years now. I have also been told years ago by a Diab Ed that I am Carbohydrate sensitive as i was having to take such large amounts of insulin for a meal. This has since been halved since being on an Insulin Pump - best move ever. Also diagnosed with mild to mod sleep apnoea. Have a heart murmer, also when they did the tests that diagnosed autonomic nervous system dysfunction they listed +/- inappropriate sinus tachycardia. But hey it could be worse. [/QUOTE]
