[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2145991, member: 401801"] Hey [USER=514925]@DaveH2[/USER], Yeah, those symptoms would be found in diabetics.... Especially the healing issue (I had pus running from my toes for years on end, and didn't know why). Some T2's have a high HBA1c and no symptoms whatsoever, for some it happens early on, like with you. Keep in mind, if you get your HbA1c back into the normal range, these symptoms should get a whole lot better, if not vanish completely. If they don't, get them investigated again. Can never be too careful. The fatigue and brain fog, well... I blamed that on my thyroid, and kept tinkering with my medication trying to fix that. I didn't get out of bed much anymore, I just couldn't. Sometimes my legs would just give out, simply walking around in my own home. Mind you, I had prediabetic in my file, but no-one bothered to tell me, so it rather spun out of control, especially when the dietician advised me to up the carbs and drop the fats... I wasn't living, just existing, and grudgingly so. All in all there was a bunch of things going on all at the same time, so your story sounds very familiar. The diet you're now learning about, LCHF, changed all that for me. Doctors are beginning to tell their patients to cut carbs, but they kind of don't dare tell people to up the fats while at it. Basically, if you eat a low carb diet, you'll have to up the fats, or go hungry! (Not to mention becoming deficient in vitamins and minerals). The list you posted was pretty good, actually...! It takes some getting used to, but you will... And get your symptoms under control.
