Mitchy asked:


I am diabetic and have been for over 20 years. I am very familiar with it but does anyone else have a diabetic cat/pet that can help?
I was told to start with Humulin NPH 2 units a day. Then we will retest.
Please tell me if you have had good success with your diabetic pet, and what you do. I want to do all I can to help my pet. Thanks.

How can i cope up with my diabetic boyfriend?

coffee_girl asked:


I love him dearly and im hurting to see him going through such a terrible disease. But i know i have to be strong for him but i want to do more to help him go through it. He’s diabetic 2 and taking shots 2x a day. Im even planning to take some nursing course just to understand his disease even better.
Thanks for all great answers…sometimes he could be so stubborn and a pain in the ass, but would never ever leave him only because he’s sick with diabetes.
yes, i’d been doing a lot of readings and research about diabetes on the internets, books, articles, doctors…but i guess, i only need some moral support from people who also undergoing this situation and you guys didnt diasppoint me. I think more than the physical aspect of diabetes I am more concern on the emotional effect such as depression…and by the way he’s also diagnosed with high readings of triglycerides. Love u all!

Ashley J asked:


Diabetic patients who have surgery, become sick, or are under other physiological stress are told to monitor their blood sugar carefully because they may need to increase their insulin dose temporarily. What is the physiological explanation behind this advice?

How often should a diabetic exercise? What kinds of exercise would be appropriate?

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

kirby_ang asked:


I’m not sure how much exercise would also be considered too much. I’ve heard and read some recommend an exercise of 3 times a week. Would exercising daily be too much? I think other people leading active lifestyles have no problem with daily physical activity. Is it possible for a diabetic to still build up their muscles? Or would their condition make it a little more difficult for them?

Finding a Lawyer for Medical Malpractice Claims

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

The Medical Malpractice Insurers for hospitals, doctors, clinics, and health care workers do not like lawsuits.  Often times a jury will reward a victim or the family of a victim of medical malpractice more then what the insurer bargained for originally.  Many times these insures like to settle these medical malpractices claims out of court and avoid a jury trial.  It certainly becomes bad PR for everyone involved. You can find information on lawyers who specialize in handling these types of cases and will work for you and your suit.  They are experienced in dealing with insurers and know the law well.

Pancreatic Cancer: When Surgery is not an Option

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

When the diagnosis is pancreatic cancer, no one wants to hear that it is advanced unresectable or Inoperable Pancreatic Cancer. It is unfortunate that hardly any symptoms are detected in advance as so to prevent the spread of the disease. When the pancreatic cancer is inoperable, it can be treated through chemo or radiation, or possibly both. It all depends on the location of the cancer and the extent to which it has spread. A medical doctor can determine which is the best route to take. Without surgery, these methods of treatment are currently the patient’s best chance for survival. Survival rates will vary according the specifics of the cancer.
