In my family diabetes runs wild on both sides of the family so us in this generation have a great chance if not careful of how we take care of our bodies may get it. My father now has to keep picking his finger to check his sugar level. this is not something that he enjoys at all, but then who would. I would really love to see my father grow old as he is still a young man, so any information i can get will be a great help, it is nice to know that there is someone out there who understands and cares enoguh to share….. thanks…

I have type II and take Metformin pills to control it, along with diet and exercise. Recent Hbgc tests have all been below 6.1, so I have it under control. Websites like yours are a great help and I praise you for doing it.
For Nicole, I use one of the new testers and I don’t like pricking my fingers either. The new ones require much less blood and you can stick your forearm (underside) which hurts very little and you have more area to work with so it doesn’t get as sore as the end of a finger. Good luck to your father and you with your diabetes.

Mi nombre es paola, y en estos momento no son los mejores, un familiar sufre de diabetes, y recien hoy empece a investigar sobre esta enfermedad,sus causas, consecuencias. Porque la verdad nunca pense que te podia causar la muerte, en estos momento mi tio lucha por su vida, los medicos dicen que es por la enfermedad, hace 21 dia que esta internado, ellos dicen que se complico que esta todo infectado, y la verdad no entiendo a que se refieren, que es lo que paso? nunca pensamos que era tal la gravedad, para que hoy no digan que es cuestion de hs.No se que pensar, es por eso que hoy busco por este medio, informarme para que por lo menos, dentro de este dolor me consuele saber que no se pudo hacer nada. Que la diebete a pesar que es tratable tambien es mortal. Es tan asi o no hubo un buen control? gracias

Hola, mi nombre es Mariana, encontré este sitio buscando información sobre esta enfemedad, en mi familia hay varios enfermos por lo que creo que es buena idea informarse para evitar riesgos. Encontré un lugar donde se lucha contra la diabetes y en su seccion en espanol se puede colaborar mandando e-cards gratis. My buena iniciativa! y ojalá se encuentre la cura! El sitio es http://www.diabetes.org Gracias.
