Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 45091" data-source="post: 2585029">Hi all not posted for a while, just a quick update. Just got tests results back. Got kidney disease now. Have been taking ramipril BP medication a while. Feeling rough to say the least. All sorts of symptoms from dizziness, sickness, aching. I don't get it like yesterday only took 2 units of Nova rapid and around 100 grams of carbs and it stayed around 7/8 untill night time then had huge spike and hours again to get it down. So looks like the delayed emptying of the stomach thing now. Along with loss of vision in eye etc. Think the complications are stacking up, I've accepted things as they are. Tried all sorts from multiple injections, low card don't drink caffeine, alcohol or smoke. Don't really need any advice IAM just one of the diabetes that has been affected quite a bit, shall we say. Ive accepted my fate i just hope for other diabetics in the future they get better access to the latest technology etc. Seems such a postcode lottery to who gets what. After nearly 33 years of t1d getting access to just a basic pump would be like winning the golden ticket from Charlie and the chocolate factory haha. Some things in life does count from who you know, where you live, and your financial status. The biggest one for me is DO YOU MEET THE CRITERIA haha. Obviously I don't for whatever reason. What iam trying to say is some people still struggle to maintain good control and try alot of things, so it is not all down to the individual. Even someone that has had diabetes for 32 years I still struggle to get good control, so for others out there strugglin know your not on your own. I hope you get access to the better technology. And you can lead a normal life with diabetes iam just at the other end of the spectrum. Take care all.</blockquote>
