i got a copy of the letter the hospital had sent to my gp and the name of the thing i have that i couldn't remember is insulin neuritis.
sympoms include dizzyness,postural hypotention nausea/vomiting/change in bowl habbits , sweating and neuralgic pain , this occurs with sudden improvement in diabetic control .i have apparently documented blood pressure as low as 70 systolic on standing and a resting tacchycardia of around 105 wich is very classic of autonomic neuropaty...on the upside i have no signs of cardiac desiese ...and i have autonomic neuropathy and have to have further tests with the medical pyhsics department to determine how much dammage has been done to my nerves.
my point is they are well informed and educated about this condition.... but do not pass this onto patients...WHY??!!
i just want to put a warning out there to people who are starting on a pump or new regime that will drasticly improve thier control.. take it slow..dropping your hba1c like a stone WILL affect you and can make things a whole lot worse than bad control
this can happen to anyone and i dont want to see anyone else feel like i do its a living hell and i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy
