[QUOTE="100nettie, post: 157649, member: 9443"] Since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, my health seems to have spiralled downwards. I mentioned in an earlier post that I have a pinprick rash over my feet and legs, which is getting worse. I have also been diagnosed with chronic anaemia, chronic sinusitis, and hypothyroidism. I have just recently developed problems with my salivary glands - I have a nasty infection and it is causing excruciating pain. There may be a stone in one of the ducts, and I have an appointment at the ENT clinic, but in the meantime I'm off work, and now starting to struggle with money (I dont get paid when I'm off sick). My blood sugars are actually coming down (7.2 from 7.9), but I now appear to have a problem with my liver function test, and I'm having blood tests every two weeks to keep an eye on it. I'm wondering if the doctors are just treating symptoms, and not looking at the situation as a whole. Has anyone else developed more problems other than worsening diabetes? Or had any experience of a problem that would cause all these problems as one illness? [/QUOTE]
