You could call Don Phelps. :)

Sorry to hear that Chris. The good thing is that millions of people have it and live normal lives.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, but nothing ya can do about it. The Doctor assured me I will feel better, once we get my blood sugar under control.

I don't like Doctors, and haven't been to one in over 2 years! But I have not been feeling well for the past 18 months. I had a blood workup a month ago, and called yesterday to see what day my follow up appt was. The doctors office told me not to eat anything after 9 pm, and come in at 10am today. My complete blood workup showed blood sugar at 276. The doctor took my fasting blood sugar this morning, it was 309.
NOT good! I told him I would start working out again, but he told me I needed to be on medicine! He put me on Glipzide and Metformin twice a day. He told me I will feel MUCH better, once we get my blood sugar under control ?
I sure hope so guys, cause I have basically felt like chit these past 18 months.
Anyone else a diabetic out there with any tips for me ?

Sorry to hear that Chris, but glad to hear that you will be feeling much better soon

Happy Holidays Friend

I come from a family of diabetics. My grandfather was a diabetes and my dad started his meds a few years ago for diabetes too. I know that it will more than likely get me too eventually. Follow the doc's advice, you will start feeling better.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas Chris!

Chris - although I don't know much about diabetes, a very good friend of mine was diagnosed with it several years ago. There's times when he can keep his blood sugar in check with no meds for months at a time, and very seldom does he even give himself an injection these days.

Again, I know virtually nothing about it however I'm sure my friend would be glad to speak with you over the phone about his experience with it if you wanted to. Just let me know?

On the other end of the spectrum, I've seen what it can and will do to someone if not managed very well. Please stay on top of it and take good care of yourself.

Some times things happens for the good.

I know of some one that drank, smoked, over weight and she was diagnosed with something that forced her to change her life style and now she is better off then before.

everything will be ok Chris

You will be fine Chris. It may change your life a little. I think the only things that you have to give up are smoking, drinking, and sex, but the rest you can keep doing. biggrin

I can just see you following those doctors orders!!! smile
