Dear Friends

I want to create a group which shall share information on Diabetes through memoirs. Please join and send your own memoirs. Find below an interesting story, titled "An Adventerous Lover-" and "He amputated his leg himself..."

It was during my stay at Republic Square at Paris, while I was attending 18th Congress of International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2003 that I happened to go through an anecdote published in a…

My name is Angie I am from the U.S. I was told I have type 2 diabetes in July of this year. I was going to another doctor last year and my blood readings were up to 300, so he put me on 2 oral pills, but never came out and told me I was a diabetic, he never took regular blood work on me, and this past May my ankles were swelled up and I went in and he told me that is how they are suppose to be because I am on the chubby side, but you could see the fluid in my ankles, and he just said not to eat, so my mom had me make an appointment with another doctor, who I am going to now, and he is the one who told me I was a type 2 diabetic. Now he is checking my blood every 3 months, but my fingers go numb, and it wakes me up in the mornings, and lately my sugar won't stay up when I eat. I hate to keep calling the doctors, but I just don't know what the problem is. About 2 months ago, , I was shopping and I got light headed and thought I was going to pass out, I got in the car and my sugar was down to 45. Do you have any advice for me? I would appreciate it, because I am new to this!
Thanks,
Angie

I have been telling him about my troubles with scar tissue. I've been type1 for 41 years, pumping for 17. He gave me a suggestion for a cream called verapmil. Do you think it could help me? It is mainly used for men with scar tissue on their penises. I know it sounds weird, but I'm willing to try anything. I don't want to go back to shots.

We love to go to New York City too!

At 1:27pm on June 15, 2008, Ruchika said…: Hello Dr.Shankhdhar
It was really nice to see a doctor n that too a diabetologist from India on this site.Actually I'm type1 diabetic,live in Karnal,India though these days I'm in California visiting my sister.It was just by chance that I hit upon this site n found it extremely informative coz'I got to read what people like me deal with every day n share my experiences with other diabetics.I wish we'd some similar blogs catering to the needs of diabetic Indians coz'this site features people mostly from America,Canada or Europe.I realized that most diabetics here use pumps but surprisingly in our country,I don't think there r any pump users...I know it costs a great deal n requires an accurate calculation of calories before dialing the dose..may be that's why it's not that popular in India..My endocrinologists-DR.Murlidharan from Chandigarh n Dr.Sanjay Kalra from Karnal never talked about using a pump...I still take shots n sometimes use pen also but I think using a pump makes one's lifestyle more comfortable...I'd like to keep in touch with u...

At 9:12am on September 30, 2007, Dr. L.K. Shankhdhar said…: Very soon many of my patients joining this website. I will contribute in some other ways as well.
