Diabetic living today
Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic living today
diabetes
I went to the endocrinologist today, and he did not put me on insulin!! I am so happy. I have been working really hard to control my sugar with my diet; eating 6 times a day, small portions, limiting carbs, etc. I guess it is paying off. He did say I was borderline and if I saw the numbers start to climb to call him. I have to go back in 2 weeks. I never went to the dietician because they wanted $180 that day, and I already know what I need to be doing.
I am an insulin dependent diabetic for the last forty years. My diet is healthy, I am active ( I exercise at least twice a week for more than an hour at a time), my eyesight is good (no laser treatment yet), test my blood sugar levels at least 7 times a day and take 4 shots every day. Basically I do what I am meant to do(most of the time).
Hi,
It's really great to hear of all these long living diabetic people. I'm 50 and was diagnosed type 1 when I was 17. So far I have nearly always worked full time - earlier as a nurse and more recently as a primary teacher. I have one beautiful daughter now 19 and I suppose that's why I asked the question of life expectancy. She is at uni and plans to be a Lawyer so lots more years before grand children.
I am 27+5 days , I had 3 hrs glucose test yesterday and today one of the nurse from hospital called me and told me that I have pregnancy diabetics .nurse told me to go back to hospital tomorrow bcuz they will show me how to use glucose test strip. I am so scare. Does anyone else had diabetic in here and how do u maintain it during pregnancy and is my baby girl have Any risk bcuz of diabetics?
my question is a type 2 diabetic person can feel weakness and lazy to do activities.
thank you.

Hello, everybody I am patrick Caballero and I living in Philippines. Right now, I stop studying because of diabetes which takes a lot on our financial aspect of my family. From childhood, I am very sick as a child. I was diagnosed before with a malign tumor on my pituitary gland which caused hormonal balance. Also, I already experienced hepatitis B. I want to ask informations or help from anyone out there financial so that I could finish my studies. I dont to be a burden on my family.
The reason for this I chose to keep on living the way I wanted to instead of how I should. Being a diabetic can do all kinds of damage to all of your body including your organs. Sometimes diabetics end up with nerve damaage, and it can happen anywhere in your body including your stomach. Please don't jump to conclusions. The first thing you should do is eat right and exercise. Whatever you do don't stop living. It does not have to be the end of your life.
You are not damaged goods because you are diabetic, in fact diabetes has helped me to be the person I am today. Of course I wish I were not diabetic, but I don't want to look at it that way. I like to think I am more compassionate, smarter, more organized, better at thinking outside the box, have a great sense of humor and the list goes on, because I am diabetic.
My whole point is please don't blame yourself or look down on yourself because you have diabetes.
