Hello,
I'm fairly new to the forum, but I've benefited from this site for the past few years.
I've been type 1 for almost 25 years, diagnosed at age 3. I've been battling debilitating fatigue for the past six years despite A1C's that made my doctors happy by falling under the ADA's 7.0% benchmark. This is big reason why I'm beginning Dr. Bernstein's protocol (see Diabetes-Book.com for more info): I think the blood sugar fluctuations are partly responsible for the fatigue (though I plan to stay on Dr. B's regimen even if it doesn't alleviate the fatigue, because the reduced risk for the countless long-term complications we diabetics often suffer from is a good enough reason in and of itself.)
Each of my doctors, an endocrinologist, a naturopathic PCP, and a hormone specialist, haven't been able to reverse the debilitating fatigue I experience every day.
Thus, I was wondering if there were any other type 1 diabetics out there suffering from the same conditions as myself: Type 1 Diabetes, Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis), & Primary Hypogonadism (Low Testosterone). If you happen to have this unfortunate trifecta of conditions, I'd love to communicate with you via the forum to see what your symptoms are like and to see what treatments have failed and worked well for you.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
