Diabetes Symptoms Weblog

Sorry I’ve been absent, the house is all finally
done and we’re waiting for the final sign-off from the
building inspector.<br
just waiting on a referral to an endo covered by my
insurance, and I have my retina exam on the first of
June.<br
as I don’t drive and my dad can’t anymore, why not?
The house looks great and we’re glad it is all done.
Even bought a Kenmore Outdoor grill for a BBQ and
house ‘re-warming’ party on the 24th of
June.<br
here! We’re all in this thing together.<br
the work is done, I’ll have more time on this ‘pooter
and will be more ‘attentive.<br
things can get sorted out and you can find some
(more…)

For a while now I have suspected that I might
have diabetes. I am a 36 yo male. Most symptons check
out(thirst, urination, overweight, etc) But (call me a wuss)
I am terrified to find out. Visions of amputation
and blindness scare me to no end. I am making an
appointment with a doctor tomorrow to try and set up some lab
work and tests. Any words of encouragement? TYIA

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is
Erica, and I am 23 years old. I had gestational diabetes
w/my last pregnancy. It went away when I had my son in
10/99. Then two weeks after this last christmas I ended
up in the hospital with blood sugars of 785 and
weighing just over 100 pounds. I hated it at first, but I
have gotten used to it. I have felt very alone in
this. My husband is a wonderful man, but I can’t talk
to him about my feelings on this. He tries to blame
it on other things and not face the fact that it’s
in my family. He knows it’s there, but it’s not
talked about. So I am very happy to have found a place
where my feelings have probably been felt by others. I
hope my joining is accepted.<br
