Tick to all of these symptoms, but they were written off as "psychiatric" or just plain made up. Also add gallstones and gout which I was told categorically I did not have.
All it needed was one lousy postprandial BG reading and years of suffering, and damage, could have been avoided.
Yet even today doctors haven't twigged that if so many of these symptoms occur in "nondiabetics" as they do, that they have the diagnostic cutoff in the wrong place. What are the current figures, something like half of all diabetics already have complications by the time they are diagnosed.
