I took some information to the doctor with me. He didn't need to look at it, but it helped me realize that I DO have a problem, and I'll have to work awfully hard to make it reverse. BTW, the specialist suggested light compression support pantyhose. It works really well, sometimes! Yes, I got it and looked it up. I took some information to the doctor

It doesnt state alot but it does say autonomic neuropathy can cause low blood pressure. I hope this helps. Im sure if you searched some more under various search engines you can find more.

Does anyone have good information or a web site where I can find information on low blood pressure? I find lots about hypertension, but my problem is VERY low blood pressure, sometimes 66/44. Not a good feeling. I have been getting this low BP more and more often. I was on a medication that should have helped raise the BP, but it stopped working, and made me crazy. I am finding it difficult to function as well as I know I can, and my memory is bad. On bad days when my BP is low, I feel like fainting as I brush my teeth, I sit down, feel a little better, continue doing the personal hygiene thing, but must continue sitting down again and again, sometimes for hours. My balance has been better. <!--more--> I know this conference is for pumping, but I hope that someone might be able to give me a little information on this type of thing.

I know there is a complication of diabetes that has to do w/low blood pressure. I need to do some research and see if I can find something on it. Awhile back I was feeling light headed alot, my blood pressure has always been good, maybe a little low so I did some research and found out there is a rare complication regarding low blood pressure. I just cant remember what it is called. I will research it and try and find out. I'm sorry this is so vague but I wanted to get back w/you as I am not on here alot anymore. I'm hoping I saved something in my file. So I am going to check and I will post it on here if I find it. Again sorry this is not more info.

It started last October when my endo set up an appoinment with the pump trainer and the dietician, I had to meet with both of them once a month for three months to go over carb counting etc. then finally in Feb they sent the info to minimed re medical necessity etc. then I was scheduled for saline start at the end of Feb and my insulin start with the pump on March 5, 2001. After that I went back to the pump trainer once a week for 4 weeks and then every other week for 4 weeks and then once a month for three months. Now on Friday the 24th I am scheduled to see my endo for the first time since going on the pump. I can't wait for her to see the improvements in my blood sugars! I guess if you take into consideration all of the pre pump stuff, it took aabout 6 months of training all together.
