I found out yesterday that I have diabetes. It was through the Army since I was enlisting. Since finding out I have diabetes the Army dropped me. I have no doctor to tell me how to manage my diabetes, though I am currently looking. Until I find one I need to know what to do. When I was diagnosed I had fasted (not eaten) for 12 hours and given the glucose tolerance test. My levels showed up as 307. Way above normal range. So my question is this: If I hadnt eaten in 12 hours and my levels were still that high, how do I lower my sugar levels? I cut out all sugar...what else do I do? (No I dont even know what type I have yet)

Here's the deal, Yesterday I was diagnosed with Diabetes. I'm only 21. My blood sugar levels were 307. Does any one know if you can tell what type of diabetes you have by the number? How would I know? I am currently looking for a doctor since I dont have one at the moment.

Hi i just did that diabetes test thing to see if i was at risk and it said that i could be. I do have quite a few symptoms that have gotten worse over the years, I have been to the doctors when i have been ill and they havent found anything wrong with me but have taken blood tests , but i dont know weather they check for diabetes. I do feel tried a lot of the time, i do tend to shake alot, and i am a little overweight and dont lose weight easily, and as i have taken the test it says blurry eyesite, i went to the opticions to get my eyes tested because of this and they said my eyesite was fine and i didnt need glasses, but it is still blurry. Also i do seem to need to pee more than i used to its not all the time but where as i use to go maybe twice a day i go like 10 times a day. Should i go and get it checked im 19 years of age and my doctor isnt helpful at the best of times. But i think it could be getting worse.

There are two hard, lumps behind my ear around the top of neck/head. The first lump I have had since a major ear infection I got when I was young. The second lump is a inch away, and I don't know when I got it. They both move if you press on top of them. They are around the size of a time, if not smaller. What is this? Could it be cancer? I'm 17

I had damaged my hands while working and making over 175 pairs of eyeglasses in a 4 day period. They are still very dry and itch from the healing process. I have been using gloves to keep from the contact of the liquids used to fabricate the lenses and use some lotion, but they still bother me. What lotion/treatment is best to relieve the itching and dryness? (other than going to a doctor which I don't have the insurance or the money for)

I am 41 yrs old my heart rate has gone from 45bpm to an average of 38bpm when resting, this has happened over 15 yrs. I have been to see my doctor, and have been in hospital for 5 days where various test wetre done, was given clean bill of health, and anything I am feeling is just with in the boundries.

My every day work involves hard work and a lot of exercise, generaly through the day I feel the odd palpitations. I have also lead a healthy and sporty life, cycling every day 20 miles, 1-2 hrs in gym

My question is a heart rate of 38bpm normal for me, and how low must it go before it becomes a problem.

How did it affect them as a person emotionally to be diagnosed, and what did they do with their (remaining) life? Did the disease force them to change their attitude in any way, and did they speak out actively to others in supporting prevention? Thank you.
