Hello all, First, I must say this is my first post here and am thankful for the insight all of you provide. I have been reading posts here for a few days, looking for situations similar to mine and can't quite put a pin in it. I'm not looking to be diagnosed on the internet and understand...

Hi there, 28 yo male, and am concerned. I've had some issues recently with my right foot and right hand. Over the winter I experienced some tingling and numbness in my feet and hands, assuming it was potentially diabetes as my family has a history of it. However after a quick screen I found...

Hubby dx 11/2013 - admitted to hospital on Friday with blood sugars of 566 (we knew something was wrong; excessive thirst; frequent urination for last several weeks). Going home on insulin - help! Our diet before was to eat everything and anything. How do we manage to control this and keep...
