hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
I would like to tell you that as your stress test is normal,you should not worry about your blocks in heart arteries which is common in most of diabetics.I would suggest you to check thyroid function tests and Echo cardiogram to rule out hyperthyroidism and any Cardiac dysfinction.
If both are normal You must focus on proper control of diabetes as it may be indication of autonomic dysfunction
My best wishes
Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
