I don’t know how you got off Buddies. Your name
is not in the members list. I past your request to
DE, so she should send you the invite. This is a
diabetes club by invitation. You must be a member. To bad
it is so slow outta there. I have been away from
there but back again.<br

Cheeky, I don’t see another name, at your age you
should be on the pump. Mind you I’m not and take many
needles. Still may go on it at age 71.<br
cannot buy it privately from your own money and depend
on a doctor who works for an insurance company and
not for you.<br
to get the opinion of another doctor, a dislodged
needle from the pump does happen occasionally but is no
reason not to be on the pump. At your age in particular,
try to find the $ 5,000. required to buy it. The toes
HAVE to be looked at by a responsible docter. If my
doctor advised me like yours I be long gone. Still you
must understand I cannot give doctor’s advise because
I have no papers to that effect. Just pure
experience.<br

Following my last posting which was on
neurophaty, here is some more…which is not so generally
known and holds a warning for the newcomers to
diabetes.<br
you on Buddys with Diabetes and miss you and yes, I
know what you want to say. I agree.<br
neuropathy than. It can start very early in your diabetes
travel. It get’s a chance to get in because at the
beginning your dia doesn’t hurt much so….we can sin
often. Al during that time you are working on the
establishment of your neuropathy. Stick to your sugar-control
at all times.<br
even know about neuropathy when I was diagnosed 41
years ago.<br
we have it today. Hardly anything to read about

Confused

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

I just found out a little over a week ago that
I’m Diabetic. I should have known since my mother and
her parents are too. I’m 35 and very confused. I am
trying to be positive but it’s just tough. My work and
my lifestyle don’t allow me to be sick. Help….

hopefully I will be feeling better in a few days. You guys
keep me in your prayers. God bless.<br
