Diabetes Melitus Veteran (28 years)
Hi, Just happened across this group and thought I would throw out
there my own experiences. I have been a diabetic for 28 years and am
now 30. Currently, I have no medical problems nor any issues with
renal function or healing. According to my doctors, I seem to be in
a small group that are not having medical issues. I hope this is
truly not the case….
After 28 years of this, I feel I can share some tips that perhaps
could be helpful and maybe there are others whom can share something
with me. I do have some wacky problems that are annoying more than
anything. For example, I no longer feel the low blood sugars like I
used to which I know now is “normal” however, I am curious to know if
there are methods we can use to “retrain” the body/mind connection?
Or how about some hormone secrets since insulin is a hormone?
I am an herbalist, 98% vegetarian and shy away from refined sugars.
I also refrain from indulging in sugar free foods that contain
aspartame. Did you know aspartame turns into wood alcohol? POISON!
Yuck no thanks… Once in a great while a Diet Coke is kinda tasty I
guess.
Anyway, please feel free to send me a note or catch me on messenger!

Hi Jerry!
Nice to meet another “vet” who also happens to be in the same state.
I am REALLY glad to hear that you are also not having any problems.
I certainly hope I can make it to 43 with no problems as well! It’s
great hearing “good health” stories since we are usually bombarded by
the bad ya know?
Thanks MUCH for the reply!

Hiya! I’ve lived here a while however, I don’t know of any groups. I
Onlymeaz
believe a lot of the hospitals have group meetings and such, as well
as possible links from the ADA? Sorry I can’t help ya there….I was
never much of a “group go-er”. This online thing is about as far as
I will go! haha
