| My last AC1 was 6.8. I have been diabetic for 22 years though and I guess it is just the length of time, bad luck, etc catching up with me. My only problem right now though is that the rapid heart rate makes me so fatigued and short of breath when I try to be active. I love to hike, roller skate, etc. with my daughter and step-daughter but I have been unable to do so. Even though the rapid heart rate is not per se "imminently dangerous", it makes me feel terrible and I don't want to get out of shape and make my diabetes get bad. Any suggestions? Also, the cardiologist really sucks but is supposed to be part of a wonderful group. It took him one month to read my stress test and he only read it then because I complained to the board at the hospital that I couldn't get my results. I see a neurologist for narcolepsy so I think I will just bring the neuropathy up at my checkup in January. Should she be able to help check to see if the neuropathy is affecting other areas?
