What should I do about family members who don’t understand my diabetes plan and give me a bad time about it?

01 Sep

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?

05 Jul

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.

This is our first time flying……?

07 Jun

We are going on our honeymoon and neither one of us have flown before

My fiance is a diabetic. Do we need to get a doctors note for his supplies?
Can we take some candy in the carry-on bag in case his sugar gets low?

I keep reading about clear bottles and plastic bags. Do we have to put our shampoo, toothpaste, stuff like that in a clear bottle if we aren’t taking it in the carry on bag?

Will it be easy once we get to the airport. Like…. will we know where to put our luggage, will we know what to do when we get to security? Where do we go when we first get there?!

Can I wear my earrings? I was reading on the TSA website that piercings aren’t allowed?

Anything else I need to know?

I know someone that occasionally has problems swallowing when he is eating. It makes him feel like he is about to choke, as the food doesn’t go down. He is a diabetic. Is diabetes a contributing factor if someone is having a hard time swallowing?

Blood sugar has been high! Every time I take my insulin, I swell up! Help!?

29 Apr

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?

29 Apr

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?

Is a sign of pre diabetes being hungry all the time?

I am hungry literally almost all of the time, I will have a big meal and be hungry in only one to two hours. I have PCOS, I was diagnosed when i was 16. Now I am 21, and have since gained weight since my diagnosis. I am concerned I am not pre diabetic or diabetic. My fasting glucose levels is 93. Do this sound like I may be pre diabetic? What do I do then?
