TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE

1950′s, 60′s and 70′s !!
First, some of us survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. ( sioktong ang inumin)
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, fish from a can ( brand : ligo ), and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints, pati na yung laruang kabayu-kabayuhan.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, no kneepads , sometimes wala ngang preno yung bisikleta.
As children, we would ride in car with no seat belts or air bags – hanggang ngayon naman, di ba ? ( jeep )
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat. ( maykaya kayo pare ! )
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle ( minsan straight from the faucet)

My children seems to have blood sugar related problems (like hypoglycemia), but urine tests don’t show diabetes. The pediatrician has only tested urine and I don’t know what else to ask for or what specialist I could go to for a more detailed look at their symptoms. One child takes medication for seizures and the medication is also an insulin mimic. The other child also seems to have symptoms which seem to fit blood sugar issues but does not have seizures. There is a strong family history of diabetes. Is there a “metabolic” specialist I could look for? Thanks for any direction.

i am 14 years of age [almost 15] and i have had diabetes for 10 years. I have taken classes and read books to handly my diabetes better. my little sister was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 3. I am fully capable of testing blood sugar and administering shots. So my question is : would you feel safe letting mt babysit your child?

I am newly diabetic (about 3 months now). I was diagnoses with asthma a week ago and have been put on steroids for 13 days to help rid the symptoms that have kept me up at night and caused me to miss 4 days of work already. The steroids are causing my sugar to be higher than it should be. It is 301 now. At what level should I become concerned and contact my doctor?

I get medicare. I see things on Television about medicare can pay diabetes supplies. But would it count for gestational diabetes in pregnant woman. I am pregnant. I am 29 weeks pregnant. I didn’t pass the 1 hour test. I went back to do the three hour test which I didn’t get finish of vomit of the drink. I go see the doctor this Thursday to talk about it. I don’t know if he go by the first one or should try the three hour test again. If they do go by the first one. What would I need for my medicare insurance to cover it. I do get my self tested for Diabetes once a year since both of my parents got it. I want to catch it sooner then finding out later in life. My dad had it since he was 16 year old. I have bipolar which my dad has. My mom has it found out 10 years ago. I do want to protect myself. If it would nice if my insurance pay for the gestational diabetes. They I would pay own pocket afterwards just to check my blood sugar. I know I would need to get used to. Thanks.. I am still new to this medicare.. I also get Medicaid but they no longer cover my medicine or anything. But it just pay the rest of the doctor bills that medicare doesn’t pay.

I have a friend who, at home, is in a very bad situation where their parents are abusive. He needs to get out of the house, and a friend of his has agreed to let them stay with them for free, but he needs to know how much it would cost for all the required diabetes supplies at the cheapest they can get. Anyone know if and how he could go about achieving this?

My 22 years old and I have type 1 diabetes. I just want to know if having a pancreas transplant would be more cost benefit than spending a lifetime supply of insulin pens ( humalog & lantus), pen needles, test strips, Lancets, and pills for my high blood pussure and cholesterol

I spend like about $80 a month for all these stuff expect for the test strips & lancets i get those for free thank to my insureance
