Hello everyone!
I was told that I am a type 2 Diabetes back in August of 2006. I was actually tested and diagnosed, but not told that I was diabetic the previous summer. Funny how none of my doctors had received the blood test results.:confused: It was my endocrinologist's intern who stumbled upon the results in the computer while "checking in" to me. I was rather quite shocked seeing as Diabetes does not run on either side of my family.
I am hyperglycemic but had (and still do from time to time) been experiencing mostly symptoms of someone who is hypoglycemic.
I was actually relieved to find out this news because I had been complaining to both my endocrinologist and my family doctor about athletes foot that wouldn't clear up and actually spread and turned into yellowy orange toenails as well as not feeling myself, moody, . . . and I had also been complaining to my Optometrist for a few years that my sight had been going blurry. I thought maybe it was just me and thought maybe I was going through a mental breakdown! It is nice to know that there is a reason for why I was feeling the way I was! :)
What annoys me is that no one seemed to clue in despite my complaining. I don't entirely fault anyone because I have a rare primary health problem to begin with. I have Pan-Hypopituitarism (underdevelopped pituitary gland; which is your master gland and controls all your systems).
Anyhow, that is probably enough rambling on for now. I am glad that I was told about this site. It seems to have lots of good information and a good support crew!
