I'm 61 yrs. of age male with heart problems, COPD, peripheral neuropathy,
and diabetes.  I only found out about a year ago that I was a diabetic.
Question to other diabetics:  What, in your opinions, is causing both of my
legs to turn red?   Both feet gets redish looking and it goes ...

I'm home and I think I'm still alive. A triple bypass is no fun, especially
what things don't go right. During the surgery, my kidneys tried to shut
down. but some marvelous Surgeons pulled me thru and in 2 days my Kidneys
were again functioning properly.I Was discharged Tues. and ...

I don't know what i did wrong but i was sitting at my computer and all of a sudden my feet got swollen... like noticeably swollen... (i heard it could be called pitting)..  Not sure if my sugar was high or low... it was at 7 the moment i checked when i ...

I don't know if this made it through or not, because I don't see anyone

every new post. now lookee here, we have a troll post and the usual
charachters barge in without due consideration and concern. Low and

I gave up drinking alcohol six months ago because my wife is pregnant - I
thought it only fair. My GP tested my blood 3 weeks ago and said I was
diabetic. I've since had a GTT that confirmed this and have booked in to see
a endocrinologist to be thoroughly checked out.

Um...hello folks...I've been lurking here for a couple of months but am
being prodded by Sid's youngest brother Chas, to introduce myself.

Hey all. I created a group over in Yahoo for people with type 1
diabetes that want to discuss sports, training, performance, diet, etc
for those that are competative athletes (serious or weekend warrior).
I personally am an 29 year old off road motorcyce racer. I am on a

The idea is to let natural restraints control the price.  It works
in much of our system.  
But in the medical field that system fails because

Again and again people here query why doctors only recommend testing
before meals and fasting, when the general consensus of most posters
here is for post-prandial testing.
