[QUOTE="Niamh, post: 45988, member: 13773"] [b] Hello everyone ! I'm hoping someone else has heard of this problem and can kindly offer advice please. My dear husband was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes a few months ago but even before then he was sometimes "caught short". In fact, it was this problem which led to him seeing a doctor in the first place. He has been back 9 or 10 times, always to complain about this same problem, has had more blood and urine tests, been given short courses of different medicine, in addition to that for diabetes, but still the problem remains. Now I'm getting worried that his underpants are becoming "hard" and ordinary machine washing will not soften them. I first noticed this about 18 mths ago, threw all his underwear in the bin and bought a doz M&S ones yet they too are now almost rigid. I notice a very strong smell from his urine. Is this a symptom of diabetes too?[/b] We live in a hard water area and I use water softner in every wash; besides, it's only around the gusset?? that's hard. We wish we could understand what's causing this problem. [/QUOTE]
