Hi Tina. My name is Linda Richardson and it sounds like your mother and I
have a lot in common. I turned 50 last year and have had type-I diabetes
since I was 16. 11 years ago, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease
(hyperthyroid) which they treated by irradiating (destroying) my thyroid and
putting me on thyroxin meds. This has complicated my diabetes control
considerably. What sort of thyroid disease does your mother have? And what
sort of insulin regimen does she use? What is her way of dealing with diet?
I think it is horrible that a doctor would say her dark spots will never
heal. If they had any idea of the effect of such pronouncements!…It’s
flat cruel, not to mention often wrong. I’m afraid I have strong opinions
about (most) doctors…In my experience, they have not helped nearly as much
as they might have, plus they refuse to acknowledge the immense help
available to us in alternative therapies. I am curious if others on this
list have found the arrogance of their doctors unhelpful, even destructive?
Recently I started seeing a doctor I really like. Humble. Kind. What a
