Have a few questions everyone. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes about a year ago. I am not on insulin, but I am taking Metformin. I have changed my diet drastically, cut out all processed foods, eat low carbs, avoid candy, cakes, etc, eat fresh vegetables, lean meats, just totally trying to eat healhy. My sugar levels are doing great and I have lost weight and exercise. I know that fruits do have sugar in them, but I thought it was okay to eat fresh fruits because from what I have been told that is a "natural sugar". What is a "natural sugar" anyway? I have recently been told that I should not eat fresh fruits (was not told this by a doctor by the way). Is it okay to have fresh fruits? Also should I avoid diet soda with diabetes? Fresh fruits are like a treat to me now. Please help, I am confused and want to learn more. Any tips to help me out are appreciated. I thank you in advance for your answers.

I have type II diabetes and my insurance doesn't pay hardly anything. My co pays are out the roof and we make too much money to get assistance. I haven't been to a doctor in over two years or had any meds, or chem strips. My insurance company said I should give my self injections since insulin can be purchased over the counter, but I,ve only ever taken pills. Is there a safe guideline to do this? I'm having problems with my feet and I know my sugar is sky high. I really need advise.

Last time i had sexual intercourse was June 2006 and i've just noticed in my pubic hair area a skin raising a bit, just one.

I was freaking out so i took it off. If this was genital warts will it come back?

If not is there any possibilty this may be something else since its been over a year and there is only one?

Can i still have kids!? If i plan to have kids my partner would have to contract it then right?

I highly doubt that this is a pimple. So im guessing everytime my partner plans to give me a B****** i would have to use protection because the only place i see the possible wart is on my pubic region.

Why is there a vaccine for smallpox, but not for HIV?

Websites, especially biochemical, would be great.

My dad recently had an ischemic stroke (2 months ago)He is a Type II diabetic also. Ever since his stroke, we've been monitoring his blood sugar level for him. In the last 3 days, he's been looking more tired. He's lost his energy when he tries to walk. We took him to the ER and the doctors said its probably low blood sugar thats occuring over night. So, check his blood sugar at 6 oclock and it shows 145. No insulin shot is given. We give him his dinner. We check his blood sugar again at 10pm. Its 110. He sleeps through the night and its back to 145 again. Whats going on? Its been shooting up overnight. Is his body digesting the food really slow? i mean..if it is, wouldn't be high 3 hours after his meal when we check his blood sugar level again at 10pm?

addendum:
