How did you learn about your diabetes, what are the symptoms and how did you manage to control it?
My sister had a patient in 1984, she was 93, admitted to the hospital with kidney cancer. She was a long term diabetic for over 50 years. Her family was wealthy so she had had the best treatments available when treatments were pathetic. She recounted boiling regent pills to test her urine while visiting China (she walked on the Great Wall). When I became a nurse, at least the regent strips I compared were from blood and quickly matched to the strip container. The inventor of the glucose meter that gives a result in 5 seconds will always be on my Thank You God list.
Going back to Helen, she told my sister to tell her patients that Diabetes is a lifestyle. Follow the diet, get exercise and rest, monitor skin for infections and do not ignore any illnesses. Above all, do not whine, diabetes does not care.
When I have a patient who does not understand the importance of following Diabetes's rules, I talk about Helen.
To all the diabetics on RG, I wish you health and common sense.

I don't have diabetes but I live around diabetic patients and this disease is very serious. Regular taking medicine, proper diet and exercise(simple walking) is a must for diabetic patients.
