I am a diabetic and when I was diagnosed 14 years ago my doctor said take a pill and lose weight.So I didn’t know how to control it and six years later I end up with neuropathy (nerve damage) in my hands and feet, then he sent me to classes to learn how to control it. So now I eat the # of carbs they told me to eat and I eat four times a day no less than 4hours after and no more than 5 hours after my last meal and my blood sugars are in good contro. My family lives in a different state and every time I go home to visit they give me a hard time about my schedule and tell me I’m obsessed about it. In fact, this last summer my mother and sister even yelled at me. I get very hurt and don’t know why they don’t want me to contol it so well instead of getting many of the complications possible. Am I being too sensitive or are they being unreasonable by asking me to change my plan.

Why should those with diabetes wear shoes all the time?
Earlier today I read an article about shoes and the different problems with different kinds of shoes.
I can’t find it anymore, which is why I didn’t post the link.
But in the article, it said that someone with diabetes or would likely eventually get diabetes should never go without shoes; whether inside or outside their house.
Why would that be? Thanks for any help in understanding this.

Blood sugar has been high! Every time I take my insulin, I swell up! Help!?
I am type 1 diabetic for ten years. I am now 22. My sugars have always been great! I lost my insurance 2 years ago and have not had enough $ for insulin. My sugars, especially the past year, have been awful! I mean 500’s average. Has not effected my health generally. I have been tested many times. I have new insurance and got plenty of insulin. Now, ever single tome I take an insulin shot, I swell up! I can gain 20 + pounds water retention. I swell so bad i can hardly open my eyes. On top of the weird reaction, my sugar will not go down past about 200 no matter how much insulin I take. Doctor’s can’t figure it out. My blood tests are normal. Help me!
I don’t think it’s the brand of my insulin. I have been taking humalog and lanyus for 8 of the 10 years I’ve been diabetic. Since having the problems ltely I’ve tried different insulins and all do the same thing. I have tried eating nothing but 0 carb foods such as pig skins, olives, pickles, and nothing to drink but water. I am taking enough insulin to be eating like a 500 pound person and sugars are high! Every shot I take , I swell. All blood tests show nothing abnormal! I need to figure this out!
Is it safe to use your diabetic needle twice when your injecting two different insulin’s at the same time?
I have to inject my Novalog and then sometimes my Lantus around the same hour. Usually at the same time twice a day. I inject both insulin’s in different parts of my body but still use that same needle. I do use alcohol to wipe the needle before I put in the other vial. Is this not safe. Can I get a disease or infection doing it this way?
