This is my first post in this group I believe, so I have a lot to say,
so please bear with me. My mom has Type II diabetes. I have been
working hard to be of assistance, however I haven’t been able to do
much. She now unfortunately will be going on dialysis. She will be
getting a fiscular put into her arm this week because her kidneys are
now at 12-14%. I was working so hard with her to get her to change her
diet, and she even starting exercising at Curves. She’d lost 57
pounds, however this was over a two year period and her renal failure
may have aided in this.

I had found out that drinking juniper berry tea is supposed to assist

Injecting insulin is a precarious thing.

options and to heal. I often reflect that if I had been born in my
grandmothers time I would not have been afforded this luxury and people
with diabetes died a rapid and painful death.
the experience I have with extremely high blood sugar levels has given
me some indication of the agony that they endured. When you need to
urinate so urgently that it is unbreable or you are so thristy that
water does not seem wet enough and your body aches like your muscles are
weighted with lead, and there is no relief - that can’t have been too
much fun. anyway….

Well, not sure if that can be anywhere close to the truth, yet closer to
home for some on the list:

I Am trying to become part of the new trial study… although there are
