[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1820824, member: 85785"] I would add Hypoglycaemia in its many types and similar symptoms to diabetes. Also pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. And it goes on. Many types of endocrine conditions can be similar to how many types of type two diabetes there is. And the causes of these conditions can be diverse. That is why quite a few patients including myself get misdiagnosed, especially by GPs and dsns, who have not had the training in such rare cases as I have. When I researched my condition, I couldn't believe how few doctors were aware of the rarest conditions. And yet, the information is out there but it is a long and arduous task to find the details. One of the really controversial dietary advice to most endocrine conditions, is the same as the typical type two diabetes advice to eat carbs with every meal as in the eat well plate. Even though all the data insists that carbs and sugars are the triggers, they still insist on that advice of having carbs, the likes of complex or healthy or low GI, it's clearly illogical! If you like me had an intolerance or an allergy, would you get advice from a doctor to still eat or drink that food? I have had lactose intolerance since a nipper, no doctor would advise me to drink milk or eat cheese so I would get the daily required portion of calcium that my body should need to be healthy. However, my body doesn't work like that. I have an intolerance to wheat and all the other grains and starchy vegetables potatoes, why? If you were a doctor would you advise me to eat bread, porridge or have a baked potato with beans? Where does my fibre come from? But for years, I was. I'm still certain that all my doctors, still believe I should be having a certain amount of carbs, but because my health is so good because I have the balance of my dietary intake is as good as it needs to be now, they don't bother. My body is different from most diabetics, I get that I'm a bit weird, but that should not stop me eating the right foods for me, what every diabetic really needs, is the best dietary plan for them individually, taste, availability, cultural differences and intolerance, should always be considered in a treatment plan, and drugs and insulin the last resort unless it is necessary.
