Living with both Type 2 diabetes and hypoglycemia
I suffer from both Hypoglycaemia and Type 2 Diabetes and have done so for a few years now.
While I was having what I called “sugar drops” for 20 years the medical proffession would not listen to me….they continued to say that you only had this condition if you were on insulin!!!
In 2004 I was diagnosed with having Type 2 Diabetes. I am not on medication and do my best to control this by diet only…{at times not very successfully}
Due to also suffering from Hypoglycaemia I have many hypo’s.
Having both conditions has finally been proven and accepted by the medical fraternity, but unfortunately little, if any, information is known about having both these conditions and it’s a continual struggle for me.
I have hypo’s from any form of exertion and while I could do with losing some weight it is an uphill battle juggling food and avoiding any form of exercise as it causes me to hypo.
I was hoping to make contact with someone else who may also have both these health conditions and how they manage their diet and exercise etc.
