Diabetes runs very strong in my family. My grandmother had her leg amputated because of it and now my mother has it. Is there a good strict diet or eating plan out there so that I can lower my chances of getting it? Ive already started monitoring my blood sugar on a daily basis. Im only 21 and so its better to start young. I want a long, happy and healthy life.

Me and my bf lost both of our virginities to each other and we used a condom majority of the time, but we've stopped using them now. I was wondering if there is still a chance we could catch anything... and if so, what?

Im pre-diabetic with hypoglycemia. It got worst, I went to the doctor to get checked up. (my doctor was not available anymore). The new doctor said that my low sugar attacks were in my head. I went to another one and they said the same thing. I decided to get a new glucose monitor to make sure that my old one was not showing inaccurate resutls. Well the new monitor yield the same results (I bought a different brand). I decided to just try to eat more balanced and take my levels every so often, especially days that I feel sick. The other night I went to bed. I woke up very suddlenly and felt ill. I didn't know what was going on, I decided to try to make it to the kitchen and I thought I had to either call the emergency and colapse or try to eat my glucose tabs and as much as I can from our fridge. I never had it that bad. I usually react really bad at 60mg/dl. With this episode I couldnt take my levels I was so close to black out. what should I do? Cant go to the dr, they dont beleive

Sometimes my hands and fingers get swollen real bad and they feel hard and puffed and they turn white. I think its water retention, it happens mostly when im feeling really hot and i feel nervious when this happens, it often lasts after 15-20 minutes and i cool down. Sometimes it also happened with my feet. Any one have any suggestion why this happens, and what can i do about it?

I mentioned in passing that soy milk gave me diarrhea and this girl said to stop drinking it immediately because I'm allergic to it. She said I would not have gotten diarrhea if I wasn't allergic to it, and the only time you get diarrhea is when you are allergic to something.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but just in case, I thought I would ask.

I eat and drink soy products all the time - this was the only time it caused me to get sick. Seems only this brand was responsible, as I usually get another kind.

and yes I do have it, I just did not openly admit if for personal reasons. I no know that this place is not ideal to ask more quesitons about this desieas called ovarian cancer, and Panda if you want me to send you the results I will just to shut you up. so peple have you found this site helpful. I have in a way, but now realsie that this is not the site to learn about my syptoms. and Panda go and goodle sypmtoms of ovarian cancer, it says back pain in the lower part, fatigue, bloating, loss of appitite, indigestion ect. These are the sypmotms. So people will will not be asking any more questions on here, instead I will be asking my doctor. Good luck to all you cancer pateints out there. I hope youmake a full recovery.

I have been feeling pain on the right side of my ribs (kind of inside) and lower right side of belly and even lower belly a bit, sometimes it bothers me when I urinate. The day it started I couldnt walk so my sister rushed me to the clinic, they said their was alot of blood in my urine but it wasnt an infection. The pain just all of a sudden went away and they gave me a shot just incase but sometimes it still hurts a bit, like if something was pinching my lower right side of my belly or there was air or something around my right ribs. They thought it could be my apendix but the pain just went away (even if it still bugs me a bit. They also thought it could be kidney stone so I went to the urologist and got a CT scan but its not kidney stone. I was on pain killers but not taking them anymore but i feel discomfort and they dont know what it is, and i still dont know. What could this possibly be? Thank you so much!!!

I am a clumsy walker with flat feet i admit but a lot of times especially with barefeet or my steel toe boots I twist my direction before my foot and feel and hear a crack in a shin. It dones not hurt at all, but feels weired and seems like something is really wrong. I used to skateboard hardcore and took hundreds of golf ball size bruises regularly on the legs. What is going on!?
