Hi, I just joined, as I need someone to talk to.
I am a 33 year old male, just found out about the
diabetes about 3 years ago. I admit that I have not taken
very good care of it. I have a lot of issues with
depression as well and it just seemed to be too much for me
to really care what happened to me. I started out on
insulin, then was moved to Glucophage. That doesn’t seem
to work very well for me at all. I just started back
on medication after a 4 month vacation from
it(having lost my health insurance in December), after I
suffered from diabetic ketoacidosis (spelling?). Since
then, (about 3-4 weeks ago), I can’t seem to get my
blood sugar under 400, most of the time its in the
500’s or 600’s or higher. I am trying to eat much
better and watch what I do and take the meds, but I

Well Folks guess what? I found out that I have a
rather large Gall stone, about 2cm in size and the Doc

have to come out. Thank you Lord for another
obstacle:(<br

My name is Amy. I’m a stay at home mom of 4+. I
have gestational diabetes for the second time. I hope
y’all don’t “toss me out” for being a “part time
diabetic”. So far I’m able to control things with diet.
However, I am really struggling with the “munchies”. I’m
afraid I may not keep things under control any longer if
these cravings/food desires get the better of me. I’m
looking for some support and ideas.<br

brother, Jose. He’s still in the hospital, but the doctors
may be sending him home soon. The doctors did not
amputate no part of his foot or toe. They say that his
circulation is very poor, but they also think that with good
sugar control, no more smoking and exercise there is a
chance that he can get passed all this without needing
an amputation.<br
would need some kind of amputation, but it seems that

Hi all, I got this information from William H.
Polonsky’s book Diabetes Burnout
(p.168-170).<br
Len or Bonnie, feeling that diabetes has doomed you
to a short and painful life, here is a remarkable
story that may help you regain a sense of perspective.
In 1980, Professor Michael Bliss, a historian at the
University of Toronto, decided to research the story behind
the discovery of insulin in the early 1920s. In
addition to describing the scientific investigations of
the codiscoverers, Banting and Best, he examined the
cases of the first recipients of insulin. Br. Banting’s
prize patient was a 15-year-old named Elizabeth Hughes,
whose father, Charles Evans Hughes, was then Secretary
of State under President Warren Harding. Like most

I’ve heard about the connection between loss of
circulation, loss of eye sight, kidney problems associated
with uncontrolled diabetes. I was wondering if anyone
has heard of a connection with hearing loss?<br
have had a progressively worsening hearing loss since
1986. I was told by the audiologist that my type of
loss was heridtary, but I’m now wondering if this
might be related to diabetes?
