Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / June 2006Natural selection
It does not take much to understand that any critter that produces birth at an unfavorable time will be eliminated by the natural factors. We used to discuss why type1 diabetes was not eliminated by the natural process We must remember the recessive gene situation that allows the propagation of a trait that would be normally eliminated.. So many questions as to the process that had allow the situation in both T! and T2. T2 usually occurs in post breeding times but there is no good theory as to it's increase unless the increase is a definition thing. There is not a case in my genetic train of over 50 people Mine is probably a case of physical destruction. This is a good area to discuss and theorize for a while. I doubt if diabetes arrived from Mars on a meteorite.

Some one remembers. I thought about bringing it up but not enough spammers now. We used to discuss the many alleged causes of diabetes It has been around since the Early Greek times. I remember the PBS Documentary on the young rich girl that had type1 before Insulin. Her father spent a fortune on her but finally she died. The Canadians crew did experiments on dogs to prove the diabetes cause. Then using the pancreas from slaughter houses,. managed to extract the item we call insulin. It is only ten years older than I am. They though it was a final solution. The Banting story is interesting since some controversy in the credit for the project. Wish PBS could be persuaded to rerun some of he documentaries our area. > On Thu, 29 Jun 2006 23:11:19 -0400, "John Inzer" > <oobie@doobie.xyz> [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast > Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- =================================== If only BIll and Warren had some serious cash... maybe they could fund the research that cures our malicious disease.

I bet Bill Gates will not be conned by the free loaders. The Hughes money seems to be going the right way. Years ago, I had met Charles Kettering.at a local airport in Dayton Ohio. His fortune was being used well with a Heart Research Unit in the Dayton area. HIs name is on several good facilities. My relatives are probably are planning another world vacation. All types. Guy, I am headed for Kettering, OH, later this morning. We lived in Dayton for four years back in the mid 70's, living first in Huber Heights for one year before moving to base housing. I worked in Area B not long before we moved from there. Later, in the 80's, my granddaughter moved to, and grew up in Beavercreek and Kettering, graduating from Kettering in '99.

I spent about 20 years at UD. I was at WPAFB all over area B supporting the many projects there. Moved on in 1971 and ended up in Houston. Got stuck here when diabetes developed and I had to stay fixed to preserve employment and insurance. It s a small world, My daughter still lives in Beavercreek and her Husband is a Principal in Greenview School District at Jamestown. I have little contact with them. I still talk to Daytonians very often Guy Been in a wheelchair since diabetes took a leg in 1999 >Guy, I am headed for Kettering, OH, later this morning. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >: HIs name is on several good >: facilities. I've been thinking about you the past couple of weeks as I've developed some foot and leg problems. Primarily, we are coming to the conclusion that is initiated by the connective tissue diseases, but then worsened by the diabetes. My feet and legs are grotesquely swollen, and I am unable to wear any shoes. The skin is so taunt that there are eruptions with water seeping out. Last week the vessels beneath the skin began to break because of the pressure. No amount of diuretics affects them; that is one of the telling factors that it is not most likely circulatory. Got a clean bill of health on my heart, so that was good news especially considering my heart history. *s* Today, we started treating the autoimmune stuff, starting slowly until we're sure that is the cause for sure, but my anecdotal history tends to match what is happening. However.......... it is the eruptions in the skin, and their not healing that keeps me concerned, and with thoughts of you. At least my docs are on top of things, and want a report in two weeks regardless of how things are, better or not. There is always the open-door policy that I can call at any time I am concerned with the progress, or lack thereof. Jim went back with me when we were there, and he, the doc, the np, and myself all sat and had us a little pow-wow on all the possibilities of what might be going on. Jim and I came away feeling satisfied..... well, as satisfied as one can be when they cannot bend their ankles, nor wear any shoes, and the top of their feet are red and purple from the broken vasculature beneath the skin. Thanks for the chance to vent; I know you can understand my anxiety over the situation; I want to keep my feet. :-/ We'll just see how the prescribed regimen will work out. Have a marvelous day...... go check out that garden! :-) Billie p.s. I'm sorry you do not see your daughter very much. We've had some rocky moments with our children, but things seem to be smoothing out now that they are reaching middle aged, and have experienced a few of life's challenging moments. <vbg> A Happy Pumper and new Power Wheel Chair user in Arkansas! bh-wages @ swbell.net Pumping with MiniMed Paradigm 715, 2/06 Humalog.

I have had fungus and parasite problems with the leg. Osteomylitis (bone infection) finally destroyed one leg. Amazingly the one that was the most of the problem survived and after six years is almost normal. I have worked on it all of the time. I am still here causing trouble. We should have a wheelchair race sometime. Diana lives very near to where you are going. Guess I will never be there again. I do know the frustration of our plight and you can vent all you want. I will try to support people here I am trying to make the group with the support in a friendly way. Life is tough for so many here. I am sure you will find a lot of people here that will be with you. I think Diana still has my phone number If you ever need to talk Mona is my wife and is a great person. I am the old bum.. I have had chronic problems for years and am still here. All I can say is to get the best Doc you can find. So many here will be here to support you.

Nasty stuff. What happens in you lie on the floor or bed with your legs up in the air, such as leaning them up against a wall? If doing that for an hour or so resulted in some reduction of swelling, that might help to take some of the damaging pressure off while other remedies and diagnoses are pursued.
