Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
My Mom's diabetes caused her stroke. She was diagnosed with diabetes about 8 yrs ago. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer 2 years ago.
One day before Easter I took my Mom to the hospital for a Stroke. She is home now. The stroke was caused because of diabetes.
She wants to eat cookies, cake, pasta, butter and everything bad. If she wants to give up I am pissed. I talked to her about this 2 years ago. How do you make a diabetic change there life. I say hell if you want to kill yourself I will do it with you....If holding a gun to myself will help her realize. I will do it. I would never take the chicken shit way out but I don't know what to do to get through to my Mom.

hi,vpstar!so very sorry about your mom!some people are just plain stubborn.or,perhaps,she is eating junk food to deal with stress-lots of folks do that.she's not necessarily giving up-she's probably been eating this way her whole life.it's hard to change habits-no matter how unhealthy they may be.diabetics CAN eat those things-in moderation.take care,trish

Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...
