Hello everyone, thank you for having me.
I have been diagnosed 17 years ago. I have been in denial the whole time. Even though I was on insulin x2 with pregnancy. Am still on medication. I find it hard to accept I am diabetic and mostly forget.

Severe nerve damage
Good morning, ever since my third Myxedema Crisis of being unconscious and receiving no treatment I have very severe nerve damage. Woke up this morning and right leg, foot and arm worse than ever, makes walking incredibly difficult. Both my feet are incredibly painful and I have a real struggle to open

ARMOUR
Hi I'm giving up Armour and going back to levothyroxine t4. The Armour gives me terrible non stopheadaches and feelings of an electric shock when I touch any area in my lower left face and neck. My t3 was 3.8 three years ago. It's now 4.8. The t4 seems to give me more energy at 100mcg. I have an endo

Holistic approach needed for complex medical issues
Awake after 2 hours sleep has become my regular pattern. I am now so desperate for sleep and am becoming quite scared about my very low mood. I have just read that taking Pramipexole for RLS could be the cause for my insomnia but I feel unable to cope with the symptoms of RLS without this medication

Getting prescription for specific make of Levo
I feel better on a specific make of Levothyroxine but each month is filled with anxiety as to whether I will be able to get it with my nhs prescription... I find myself wondering if folk who need insulin are given different makes with each repeat prescription. I realise needing insulin is something that

Does radiation/brachytherapy prevent my use of insulin pump, which radiation can damage?
Do I need to be concerned with radiation impacts on my insulin pump after prostate-area radiation treatment? I’m diabetic and use a Medtronic 670 hybrid insulin pump with a separate continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor/transmitter. To prevent radiation damage to pump and CGM transmitter, I remove

Kraft insulin assay surprise
My peak insulin was 42.6 at 2 hours after a 75 gram glucose swallow. My peak glucose was 184,also at 2 hours post sugar swallow. I don't know how to interpret that. Maybe I can't store insulin..maybe this is typo 1.5 diabetes : called LADA...or maybe my beta cells are just tired. Does anybody ? recognize

Insulin resistance/ diabetes and fibromylalgia
Today I answered someone else's post and this led to discussions about sugar, diabetes and fibro. That led two of us to look at links, and we found recent medical papers saying there is a link, not sure which causes which. I am Insulin resistant, take Metformin and, while I have problems, I read what

How Do I Handle My Severe Stress?
I'm new here. My husband has diabetes and kidney disease with projected dialysis beginning in 2 to 4 years.

Molecular 'switch' reverses chronic inflammation and aging
An interesting read as inflammation has been linked to Alzeimers, insulin resonance and is a known precursor to plaque formation. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/02/200206144837.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fhealth_medicine%2Fdiabetes+%28Diabetes

Plant based diet
I wanted to share this interview. In doing research on MBC, I came to Dr. Andrew Weil. I found below interview on his website. I've just begun eating a plant-based diet and already feeling less fatigue and am anxious to see what wbc count will be when next tested. I've also been having acupuncture
