>>5135607>also was it caused by your diet or some side effect of hrt?Neither. I have Type 1 Diabetes. I'm not sure if we know exactly what causes it but most people seem to think its an auto immune disease in which the body sees its pancreas as a foreign object and tries to kill it. Afterwards you can't produce insulin and need to inject it. Nothing I did or could have not done could have stopped or caused it.
The hormones can raise blood sugar though, from what my endo told me.
>could you describe the symptomsThirst (like extreme thirst)
Constantly having to pee (smelled very sweet near the end)
Dry mouth
Weight loss
Dizziness
Shaking
Blurry vision
It started off small. I just assumed it was stress but it got worse and worse.
Why you ask?
