My ninety one diabetic mother broke her ankle in 2 spots, one on each side of the ankle. After losing the cast and wearing a boot for 6 weeks, the Dr says to wear the boot for 8 more weeks. Is this normal practice? She has difficulty walking in this boot, but,he says her ankle is healed.

I thought that being a diabetic (whether type I or II) meant being hyperglycemic because of a lack or misuse of insulin. If he is already hyperglycemic wouldn’t eating a candy bar make things worse. Unless, there is such thing as being hypoglycemic with diabetes.

I’m working on a research project on diabetic devices and how they could be improved, also, my dad has mild diabetes, and I had some questions.

It seems like there are many types and brands of glucose monitoring and insulin delivery devices with a variety of different features, some better than others, but I don’t understand how a person comes to choose and buy a particular device.

Does the doctor prescribe a specific kind, or do they give you a prescription for an insulin pump say, then you have a choice of what brand? Do you shop around? Does your insurance only cover certain types?

If you do have a choice, how do you learn about the different available devices?

Are there certain ones that are like the “iPod” of diabetic devices — the one everyone has or the one everyone wants to have?

If someone who has diabetes or knows someone who does could explain the process you/they use, I’d really appreciate it!
