Subject: Angry with diabetes
Hello,
I was diagnosed with type 2 in 97, just before starting a year of therapy for a melanoma. Not a good way to start. I have insulin resistance, and other health issues. I have been angry with this disease from day 1. Suggestions?

Subject: How do I help my husband?
Hi,
My husband has recently been told he is converting to diabetic. He is having severe symptoms (like his drunk) but he is not on meds and he is a Paramedic. His sugar is everywhere. Should he be on meds by now... How do I help?

Subject: Can I make pre-diabetes go away?
I am a pre-diabetic. I have lost 22 pounds. I eat every 3 hours, 2 fruit a day, lots of vegetables and balanced small portioned lunch and breakfast and dinner. I go to the gym 4-6 days a week. Will this make the pre-diabetes go away?

Hello Carolle,
It sounds like you are doing a great job with lifestyle changes resulting in weight loss! A study was performed a few years back called the Diabetes Prevention Program which found you could delay onset of type 2 diabetes by 58% with defined lifestyle changes.

Has anyone been on a diabetic medication called Actose? What were your results? My dr. prescribed but after reading the side effects I did not take it. I am doing okay on the Metphormin.

In response to Judy concerning the diabetic med Actos:
I have been taking it for several years and have not had any problems with it. My doctor has my liver function checked every 3 months, but I have experienced no side effects.
