Dear Reba:

If it would help, I can write a letter as both a shrink and a diabetic,

speaking to the issue of diabetes being aggrivated by sustained stress (fearing

for

one's life while sleeping). I would also write that hanging skin not only

makes adequate hygiene impossible (they already know that), AND that this leads

to ooen sores, consistent with supperative bed sores. It is an incontestable

fact, that persons who suffer from diabetes are medically at risk for open

sores, which are difficult to heal because of the diabetes and circulatory

problems

associated with diabetes. Skin infections and lestions can cause no end of

medical expense for wound care. The psychological stress cuased by anticipating

such a decline in health is another reason to decrease redundnat skin. This is

clearly a psychological as well as medical issue/

with love,
