Dear Myra,
I was clearing my backlog of emails and came across your email again. I was
wondering if anyone contacted you regarding your request.
I'm not diabetic although I'd suspected I was. My family has a history of
diabetes. And I often feel lethargic, lightheaded and drowsy when my
workload is increased and I run around the ward more often than usual. After
an informal check-up, with glucose level charting and BP monitoring, I found
out that I had a chronically low BP (between 90/60 to 100/65). No diabetes.
So when you presented your request, I was quite interested to know the
answer. But after a while forgot about it.
I hope your situation has improved.
