I do not have diabetes
Hi, I was misdiagnosed as T2 over seven years ago. Before that I was told to go on a low fat diet and what would be termed prediabetic, of course a complete wrong diagnosis.
After a huge fight to get myself a correct diagnosis, in 2013, finally, I found an endocrinologist who knew what was going on.
At that point I was seventeen stone and in real poor health.
I had NAFL, liver and kidney function problems, mental issues, hypers, hypos, hypertension, hyperinsulinaemia, hyperglycaemia and so on. I would be dead now, if not for my endocrinologist. No other GP, or my first endocrinologist had a clue!

I've lost over five stone, my health is truly brilliant, no issues except my weird pancreas, which is controlled by a very low carb diet.

I work very hard, full time, never stop, my life is back and I'm living it to the full.

You will find my story in my blog, which can be read by clicking on my blog, the link is the middle one below.
