I could scream & cry how many times I’ve heard people go through what you are. A whole bloody team & not one has a clue or listens. Staggering, infuriating & just plain nuts. Even worse for people who aren’t as informed as you who stumble along getting sick because they don’t question there’s a better way.
Guess I was fortunate in a weird way to get properly diagnosed because I was near death. Had I been less sick, I probably would have been classified T2 based on my age.
