Blog about diabetes

Good morning,
Steph appointed me to be moderater a couple of days ago. You know,
approving new members and such.
This morning she wrote to ask me to post that she will be in the
hospital for a couple of days. Nothing too serious I don’t think, but
I will let her share whatever details she is comfortable sharing.

that say “Don’t eat carrots, they are high in sugar!” and lists for

Hi Everyone,
I am pretty new to this group…was diagnosed about a year
ago…what a shock because I was not having any of the usual symptoms.
My doctor just thought it would be a good idea to get me checked out

Metformin twice a day and couldn’t […]

Hey, everyone. I am not going to be reading, writing or anything to any groups for an unknown time. Something came up today that is just too much to handle at this time, and am going into shut down mode (not the computer, but myself. I am just shutting down.) Going to pull into a […]

Hi, everyone. I am finally back in the world of being human again. Or at least close to it. LOL
The knee surgery went fine last Wednesday. Today is the first day since the surgery I have not been asleep all the time. At first it was from the pain pills and then after that it […]

Well, Wednesday finally came and will be leaving shortly for hospital. Today is the arthroscopic surgery for the torn meniscus in my knee. Monday’s surgery was iv anesthesia, but today’s will be general anesthesia. Hope it goes as easy as Monday’s sleep did. Sure wish I could have the same gal put in my iv […]
