Hi Ann,
I only have the Graves but I have seen the effects of Diabetes first hand
my brother came down with it when he was 16 and my sister with in the
same year she was 21 they both are insulin dependent for years I felt guilty
and questioned why they had it and I didn’t my father told me it was all my fault
that they got it heavey trip to put on an 18 yr. old. I love them both dearly and would
do any thing for them . My sister has a good hold on hers and is doing well but she was
just diagnosed with parkinsons disease recently. My brother is haveing major trouble with
digestive system and basically he is starving to death he lost his job and they don’t
consider him dissabled so he can’t get the help or medicine he needs he is one of my
best friends in life we were always very close growing up I will do what ever I can to
help him and pray for him. I am fortunate to only have the Graves its not so bad when
I see and hear of others battleing with other Diseases like Diabetes.
My heart goes out to you and prayers that things will be better for you and remember
that there are people who care . I have been checking the Diabetes sites and gathering
information for my brother and sister I pray that things will get better.
Take care and keep in mind that people do care I send you a hug.
