I am curious, can type II diabetes be reversed with proper diet, excercise and weight reduction? or is it once your diagnosed with it , it's with you for life? I've heard conflicting stories before on this. What do you think?

Alert system for elderly family member?

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

My maternal grandfather is currently living in a very large home with the rest of the family, 7 people total.
He has his own room and bathroom, and basically an entire level of the house to himself.
He has multiple health issues, including severe diabetes and kidney disorders. Most of his muscles have atrophed due to lack of energy and excercise; and his blood sugar levels are highly irregular and sensitive.
Often at night when waking to use the bathroom, he falls. He never calls out for any assistance, to afraid to disrupt anyone's sleep. Instead he flails and manages to get himself up after much struggling.

I'm wondering if something exists SIMILAR to life alert that might be employed here. An alarm that he might be able to activate that just alerts a specific person in the house, so he doesn't have to call out. Or even something automatic, that reacts to sudden changes in stability.

Does anyone know if such a product exists?

Is it possible to successfully treat diagnosed depression without medications?

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Wondering why my doctor has prescribed medications before attempting to address my symptoms via therapy. Medications can make you feel "better" quicker but why not address the problem head on instead of chemically altering your brain chemistry? Am i the only one who feels that putting chemicals in your body should be the last resort, or is my therapist right in saying that taking medication for depression is the same as taking insulin for diabetes?

What is ur opinion on dad beat dads?

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

My lil girl was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 19 months old and on 4 insulin shots per day. She is now almost 3 and has been rediagnosed with "Brittle Diabeties" and now needs an insulin pump to control this disease better. The docotor told me I should quit my job and stay home to take care of her. Since November 2005 her father has showed little interest of this disease and has yet to go to the classes to take care of her properly. In August 2006 the Judge awarded me SOLE CUSTODY and cannot see his daughter until completion of anger management classes and other issues. He has yet to help out finacially and I have taken things up with the state for child support enforcement.
