Type 1 Diabetic Journey

Infections made worse by diabetes

The following is a list of infections which I have experienced since 1996, although I have had Type 1 diabetes since 1992, and numerous other infections up to 1996. The infections listed give a brief overview, and I have limited the details and effects on my health. There is a scanned image on the right hand side, beside some of the infections listed. These are direct from my Diabetic Day Books, and show the extreme fluctuations in glucose levels, way beyond a normal reading of 5.4. It became necessary for me to keep these records for reasons concerning my work. They are also listed in Medical Outcomes under How To Lose Your Job.
