Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thank you Jen and Pat for the welcome to the group. I am a type two diabetic since July 10th Of 2009. I found out the hard way that I am a diabetic. I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance with my blood sugar at 964, and my Kidneys were shutting down. I also had a real bad cut on my left leg I almost lost that leg. I was able to keep my Kidneys and no dialysis at this point of my life. Two days after I went into the hospital I had surgery on my left leg an I was able to keep it. I had to learn how to walk all over again with that leg. At this day and time my doctors have me on 35 units of insulin once a day. I also take Metformin 500mg a day half in the morning and the other at night. I am trying to behave myself so far my a1c has been at 5.4 every time I have had my blood tested. I am really looking forward to learning allot on this list.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Those are wonder A1Cs. You must have been diabetic for a long time before it was diagnosed. So glad things worked out for you and you did not have to loose a leg or to go on dialysis. If you have any questions, Ask away. Someone here will know the answer. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Anita Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 10:57 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Thank You For The Welcome Thank you Jen and Pat for the welcome to the group.
