Avatar m tn if there is any info or any thing i could even do in the military with diabetes let me know i would greatly apreciate it, thanks.
Avatar n tn He is a type 1 diabetic for 40 years and this is the first time he was in an accident due to diabetes. After the accident he started talking and said he hit the person on purpose and would do it again. This was not like hime at all. We think he may have had low blood sugar at the time of the accident and due to the stress of the police and the accident his blood sugar could have gone up. any ideas?? ATTENTION TYPE 1 DIABETICS - BE AWARE YOU ARE 1 CANDYBAR AWAY FROM BEING PUT IN JAIL.
Avatar n tn I have certainly been able to achieve my career goals and diabetes has not been a factor, for my dream was to be a graphic artist, and I am not hindered by diabetes in this quest. But in the case of armed services, police, and firefighters, I believe that TacoLoverMatthew is correct and that they will not hire a type 1 diabetic person.
Avatar n tn Diabetes stands in front of my life everyday. I was a truck driver for 22 years and now have been fired because my body gave me a nice gift of the diabetes. I'm not overweight, I'm not in poor health, and I also excersize and control my diabetes. I was making great money and loved my job. All my education was committed to driving. It's all I know how to do. Now I'm on welfare, food stamps, and make no money at all.
Avatar n tn My boyfriend has been a type 1 diabetic since he was 5. He recently decided he wanted to go into the National Guard and be a MP (Military Police) but when we research it we don't get a definite answer. He decided if the answer was no then he would want to be a police officer. Which one can he do? Which one will be better for a diabetic?
Avatar n tn M superstore, He grabbed something to drink and eat and was charged with shoplifting. To the ignorance of the police they did not believe him at the time. He finally had charges dropped, but the general public needs to kow about these things. whose to say it might help alot of people out. My husband is Type-1, insulin depndt. there is alot to deal with and people need to understand how to deal with it. there is a reason for every action. Most are health related and it goes un-recognized.
Avatar m tn There is a very detailed post on this very topic just below yours.
Avatar f tn Using guns and explosives, the two men engaged in a violent standoff with dozens of police officers Thursday night, the police and residents said. The showdown came after the fatal shooting of a campus police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The suspect at large had been identified earlier in the day by F.B.I. officials as suspect No. 2, pictured in photos distributed by the agency wearing a white hat. READ MORE » http://www.nytimes.
Avatar n tn Truth is, crack users either stop using it or they die because of the power of the addiction and the frightening environs & people they must deal with to feed their habit. What we learned from our experience with our child is that she became a fabulous manipulator and liar. She was very convincing and so we didn't know -- for too long -- just what she'd been doing.

Avatar n tn I was reading about different comments and questions of diabetes. My diabetes has been in and out of control for the past 3 years. I was diagnosed with being epileptic at the age of 14. I am now 43. I have been seizure free for 3 years. August of 2006 I have had 16 seizures and 12 of the 16 were grand mal seizures. From what I have read from others my out of control blood sugars could be the cause of these seizures.
Avatar m tn s disagreement about what happened next. Seneca Police Chief John Covington says Hammond drove the car at the officer, who, fearing for his life, fired twice into the vehicle, shooting a fatal round into Hammond's upper torso. Eric Bland, a lawyer for Hammond's family, says that the officer shot Hammond twice from behind and that an autopsy supports this claim.
Avatar f tn I got my head split open and he took off with my newborn baby so I went to hospital and the nurse called the police for me. I made a statement and they asked if I wanted him charged and I said yes. Anyways a week passed and things were ok again so I went to the police and asked if I could drop the charges and they said in ANY domestic violence situation charges cannot be dropped as too many women have lost their lives returning to abusive men.
Avatar m tn intcmp=hpbt1 At least 23 arrested on fourth night of demonstrations in Ferguson People want to honor the death of Michael Brown so they shoot at a police officer (Sunday night) and then Monday they block traffic, throw frozen bottles of water at police and other objects. Yep well done blacklivesmatter idiots.
206807 tn?1331936184 50 homicides to date and we still have about 4 months to go til the end of the year. I do hope for the residences of Baton Rouge, the police try and get a quick hold on the drugs and violence that has plagued this city...
Avatar n tn It is scary and dangerous for my boyfriend and others hearing and the fear and shame for myself. I know I could be like this when i was younger but with my mum and dad. It is just getting way beyond the realms of normal coping.
1747881 tn?1546175878 This reduced police presence on the streets has been a boon only to anti-police ideologues (the ACLU welcomes it) and the city’s myriad gangs. Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson says that the surge in violence has been driven by “emboldened offenders who acted without a fear of penalty from the criminal-justice system.” There is much about Chicago that can’t be readily fixed, but it is fully within the city’s power to make its criminal offenders feel less emboldened.

The diabetes explains the weight gain but it just sounds to me like something else is going on. I have learned the hard way do not be afraid to sound like a crazy person in front of your doctor remember they are just practicing they need all the help they can get diagnosing even if it hurts theyre egos.
Avatar m tn I live in the uk and i am trying to join either the police or the army and i was wondering if anyone has any knowledge or experience with this. Im not too convinced that i would have a chance at getting in but i would like to try.
Avatar f tn Yes we have helmut lawws here. But the point in fact is that this was a police vehicle it's llike a police officer saying take my cruiser for a ride. See my point.? The police can't have it both ways. My Dad was a cop and he never would have let someone drive his cruiser. Just common sense. Thanks for your interest.
541196 tn?1293552936 I had to take a pill at 11 PM and go for the blood work the next morning at 8 am. He said it was checking for adrenal or pituitary gland tumors. It was the same time I had my 2 hour oral glucose as well and had a renal function test and a few other things. My cortisol level came back very low... so he said no worries about a tumor. But, I don't know what very low means. Plus the pill I took the night before was made to supress the levels right?
Avatar m tn I live in an apt, And about 7 months ago I had to call the police on the people living about us because of a violent domestic abuse situation. After I called the Police came and left because they didn answer the door. Aces days later they came back and busted in the doors. My guess is they were living a not so good life, maybe drug dealers or whatever. After that happened I started to think that maybe the people above knew it was me.
Avatar m tn iv had blood clots that have traveled to my lungs and it does kill. go to the doctor. the tingling could also be a sign of diabetes. is there any sweeling in your calves that is a sign of a blood clot.
Avatar n tn Hello, I hope you'll find this information useful... If you would like to know more this subject you could join the diabetes Forum. http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Diabetes---Adult-Type-II/show/46 While there is some degree of variability among people, most will usually develop symptoms suggestive of hypoglycemia when blood glucose levels are lowered to the mid 60's.
