Two months or so ago, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. A few days ago (and a little bit for a few weeks), I started getting this awful weakness in my legs and arms. Sometimes it feels like they’re heavy, like I’ll flip. Or they’re too light and I’ll flip over. It feels like I’m going to fall down. I know this is something that can come out of diabetes… but this is really soon! Is it even related? Should I call my doctor/educators? How do they treat this?
Thanks!
Been recently diagnosis with diabetes wondering if after eating dinner how soon I should wait before walking (exercising).
I am barely 6 weeks pregnant and had a blood glucose test done last week, the results came back high at 220. Does anyone know if that is too early for gestational diabetes, or do you think I had diabetes before the pregnancy and just didn’t know about it?
The reason they tested so early is because my younger sister has diabetes; however, it’s juvenile diabetes (Type 1). This is my first pregnancy, so I’ve never had the problem before.
My daughter has had Diabetes since whe was 11 yrs. old, she is not 43. Thirty years of insulin injections, testing her blood, worrying over high sugar readings, kidneys, amputations, etc. It just goes on and on. I pray that stem cell research will help, but Bush keeps rejecting it. Do you know of any other countries that are working on some kind of cure or help for these poor people who have to tend to this disease every day of their life. She can barely afford the supplies, but works all the time. She has no health insurance, cannot afford it. She is without a family nor husband to over look her care. So many are like this, even my grandson came down with it. It is not hereditary they say, but they just eventually give up, and tired of fooling with it. What do you now about any research, or even any thoughts about advances in this disease?
