[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 1992668, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=500575]@Bladezy[/USER] I think this has a lot to do with glucose tolerance. In my late teens my glucose tolerance (i.e. how high my blood sugar levels could reach before feeling unwell) was very high - nobody talked about HbA1c then. But if it sharply increased I would get very bad ketones, which would blurr my sight, make me nauseous, or even sick, give me appalling diarrhoea and lock my muscles up. Once I had been read the riot act, at the age of 21, and been lent a glucometer like a housebrick, my glucose tolerance went down to a point where I had the same symptoms as above, sometimes even if my blood sugar was only just over 10mml/ml. All I can say is that the longer your tolerance level is high, the more damage will occur to the extremes of your circulatory system, that is, eyes, feet, kidneys and private member's bill. Nobody can force you to do this, but my life would have been very different had I not ignored advice in my childhood and teens. Good luck with tackling this. [/QUOTE]
