The Serenity Prayer

God grant me
the SERENITY

Thought I was "cured"

Saturday, January 11th, 2003

Hi,,

Im a 42 year old male who was first diagnosed about 5 years
ago and really went after it with diet and exercise. Got good control and
stupidly figured I was ‘In Control’ and stopped regular checks, etc.

For the last several months, I’ve been feeling bad and
started checking my BG again. Using my OLD strips (over 5 years old), my
fasting BG has been between 175-245. Its been along while since I’ve been
testing but wanted to know if those strips were still accurate or better get
some new???

Also, is there any new,better reading sources on control. I
need to get informed again.

Hi,

Can anyone say how helpful homepathic medicines are in treating diabetes?

Neonatal Diabetes

Saturday, January 4th, 2003

Hi, my name is Kelly. I just joined the list.
I have a son (now 5 months old) that was born with Neonatal
Transient Diabetes. He was born at 39 wks. gest. and weighed
3 lbs-14oz, 16 in. long. The day after he was born the
medical staff received his lab results, concluding that is
blood sugar was over 400. The staff began to panic because
they had "never" seen this before! I , needless to say, was
very worried about this! They consulted with the best
diabetes specialists in the state (which I must also add,
had never seen this before either)! I began to worry. I
guess my son was the youngest child in the state of Utah to
have this disease!
All of the medical staff at the the hospital was scared to
send him home with us because they didn’t know how stable he
would be. He ended up being discharged from the NICU after
