diabetes youth programs

Hi all! I had a heart attack and was diagnosed with diabetes almost a year ago that turned my life upside down. Since the attack and quadruple bypass surgery I've lost my house, car, and can no longer do the work I've been doing for the last 30years b/c of the physical requirements. I've applied for and been denied Disability and don't know where to turn. My challenge now is being able to the afford my medicine needed every month of about $150.

I remember hearing that years ago. I have heard every single example of genetics with diabetes of both types from the skipped generation to "nobody in my family" to parents, to siblings, etc. I think genetics and diabetes is complex. I absolutely would not be confident that the children won't get diabetes. Type 2 diabetes which previously affected only middle aged people has become much more common in overweight youth.

I have diabetes, and now my doctors has prescribe insulin, but they also say that I wont loose weight but should not gain either. What do I do to loose weight. I walk everyday for a half hour.

I would suggest that you see if you can qualify for Medicaid or if your state has programs to help people with disabilities, to get there medications. Most states do have some programs. People with diabetes fall under the American with disabilities act. Contact your department of social services they will be able to help you, or your department of health and human services.

I might be working a there again this summer, still waiting to hear back. I highly recommend diabetes camp for kids and teenagers. It truly helped me understand and take better control of my diabetes. And I still have friends that I talk to that I met that first year I was there.

Hello, can you contact the supplier of your pump and insulin? Sometimes they have programs for people who are struggling. Walmart also sells generic insulins for lower pricing, which may be an option. Hope you are able to work something out.

//www.isletsofhope.com/diabetes/assistance-programs/free-insulin-pump-supplies-1.html The organizations listed at this link that appear to be the most helpful are: http://www.charlesray.g12.com/ The Charles Ray III Diabetes Association (their email address is ***@****). One drawback though is their $15 application fee.

i would suggest that you contact yourlocal department of socail services, they should know if your state has special programs for people that have the same needs as you. i would also suggest you contact your local JDRF chapter (www.JDRF.ORG), they might have have some contacts for you. I would also suggest that you contact minimed and see if they have any programs, that might help. I hope this helps.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (800-762-4636) has information on such programs. Additionally, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has a publication called "Financial Help for Diabetes Care." Order print copies from the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse: 800-860-8747.

Please take the time to go to the website of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and send an e-mail requesting assistance in this area. The JDRF staff has experts who have all sorts of information for folks like you to help with either insurance possibilities or aid with the expense of the medications. After you send your e-mail, you will be contacted by one of the staff who specializes in this area.

I'm wondering if anyone else out there is an adult with juvenile diabetes and has a hard time with keeping bs in good range despite multipule testing and control of food intake and good A1Cs?

Dear Nikkie1376, Thank you so much for reaching out to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I am a volunteer and cannot give you medical advice, but I can try to give you a few resources for financial aid. I am so sorry that you find yourself in this position. Too many children and adults are unable to recieve the health benefits that are crucial to sustain their life with the medicines that are needed.

Hi. I am a 23 year old college student who has had type 1 diabetes since I was 8. I have not had any major problems. Although I do not keep great control of my diabetes I try to do the best I can with what I have (no health insurance). My question is...Almost every night when I go to sleep I am waken up by both my arms being asleep. Why is that? What can be the cause of that? I did some research and all that came up was that it could be CT(carpel tunnel syndrome) or MS.

I have type 2 diabetes and have for 11 yrs, I thought I had diabetes for a while before I was actually diagnosed and not knowing enough, did not press my doctors reasoning for not thinking my higher blood sugar readings were not significant enough. He did not do a Hemoglobin A1c test. Just a blood glucose which was showing high blood sugar readings for some time,and he for whatever reason didnt think it signficant enough.

a normal person does not get complications like going blind or loosing toes/feet/legs a normal person never has BG over 120 Joslin Diabetes Center says BG over 136 causes damage that leads to complications. So a lot of people restrict carbohydrates so there BG does not go over 140 some chose 120 some chose 180 (ADA limit).

I am 30 years old and I have had diabetes sense I was 5 years old and have recently moved to a new state and can not get insurance until July 1. I will currently need more insulin and I was wondering if there is any help with me having to purchase this on my own considering it is very expensive I had my doctor that I had before moving wirght me a perscription but I was just wondering if there was any help out there that I won't have to wait 45 days or find a doctor here first ?

I just found out that I have diabetes my blood suger count is 133 right now is that to high?I have still alot to learn with and injury that hasn't healed in a year and a half I guess due to this I didn't know til aboui 3 days ago?

I'm exceptionally healthy, I exercise regularly both by running and anaerobic activities with and without free weights. I take great care of my diet and regularly meditate and do recreational outdoor activities such as archery and recreation swordsmanship. Throughout my youth I've read a decent amount of material on sex and sexual activity and have felt and proven myself more than competent in pleasing a woman ( at least orally.

Obama called for more early education programs, criminal justice reform, and “making investments so that [youth] can get the training they need to find jobs.” “There’s a bunch of my agenda that would make a difference right now in that,” he said. The president then proceeded to blame the Republican-controlled Congress for not implementing his agenda. “I’m under no illusion that under this Congress we’re going to get massive investments in urban communities,” Obama said.

I am also a volunteer and my daughter goes to a diabetes camp. Most diabetes camps have camerhips, to help defray the cost. Also check with your local civic groups, such as rotary, elks etc. They help people in these situations.
