A3243G - Esperienza personale di Andy Collinson

In my youth I was always interested in flying, something which has stayed con me throughout my life. In my teens I flew Chipmunks, Sailplanes, Cessnas e Cherokees

In 1980, aged 21, I finished my degree in Human Psychology e joined the family firm, making livestock feeding equipment - concentrating on computers, which hanno been a parte of my life ever since.

Within a pochi years, I developed acufeni - which drove me mad! I also went gradually Deaf, getting my first hearing aids at the age of circa 25. The hearing aids help mask the acufeni e I wear them every waking moment.

I pursued my career in computing in the family firm per 10 years. I then ran my own computer dealership, until this went bust after 4 years. I hanno been "computer contracting" per the last 7 years, e unfortunately unemployed per the last 2 years.

I became interested in Paragliding, e hanno flown in England, France e Spain. I am Pilot rated con circa 150 hours. My longest flight was 4 hours e my highest flight was to 8,000 foot.

At the age of 42 I became Diabetic. I was taking Glucosamine e Chondroitin per my arthritis, e I'm sure this took the Diabetes into the critical phase e crystallised the problem sooner than it otherwise would have.

The consultant took a blood sample, which confirmed an A3243G mtDNA mutazioni puntiformi.

I hanno now traced the materna family e localizzato the following who sono / were MIDD:
Due materna uncles (deceased).
My sister,
Due materna cousins,

I investigated MIDD extensively nel web e was disappointed at the level of information available.

I was quite ill early in the New Year 2002, e durante alcune time off work, I trovaed www.A3243G.com. I hope it helps everyone over the years, e continues to grow.

I hanno funded www.A3243G.com website out of my own pocket.

Help è gradually starting nel website con one person looking after the Abstracts e another person funding the Translator.

After only 6 months on Sulphonylureas, I am now on Insulin.

I hanno recently changed my diet con exceptional results. I usato to follow the diabetic recommendations per a low fat / high carbohydrate diet. However, I hanno now switched to a high proteine diet e my glucose readings sono exceptional - they sono always around 5 mmol/l (90mg/dl in American values). I hanno been having fewer headaches.
