Hi @mjaussie70, I'm sorry to hear about these symptoms. I'm glad you're managing what you can through diet and exercise and sounds like it's helping at least manage the diabetes. Would you describe your shortness of breath as something you'd feel while exercising where you're breathing heavier, or do you feel a sort of "hunger" for air that you can't satisfy with a deep breath?

Chest tightness can indicate a few things, so hopefully your doctor can give you insight into what might be causing that.

Do you experience any wheezing, coughing, or labored breathing while doing normal every day activities?

I believe your doctor should be able to help, especially with the symptoms and things that are common for many people. Once those are taken care of, I think there will be some freedom to explore solutions to anything else, such as the breathing problem. But I certainly hope your doctor can discovery any solutions for that, or that it's connected to anything else you're dealing with.

Let me know how it went with your doctor.
