Do you think that diabetes will ever be cured? And if so, how and when? A friend of mine has had diabetes all his life and I feel sorry for him, so I decided to ask this question to see what people think.

I had blood work taken and found out that I have slightly low blood sugar. My doctor suggested that I make an appointment with a nutritionist and have her explain to me what types of foods i should be eating and when to eat them.

My insurance ran out (I was on a state plan, but because of my age they dropped me - i'm 20 years old) I have not yet gotten new insurance - my mother is in the process of finding insurance for the whole family. So I will no be able to go to the nutritionist until I have insurance.

I think that my body is probably craving sweets becuase of my low blood sugar! However I also know that if I eat sugar it will raise my blood sugar and then drop it.

Until I am able to see a professional, what kind of foods should I be eating to avoid these cravings and keep my sugar steady?

ok
In my Family we have this skin type of birthmark. My sister has it and its makeing her really depresed. She has some on her for head, and alot on her legs, all it looks like is white skin that will not tan in the sun no matter what. My parents have been resurching it, and all they say is to use make up on the places she has birth marks on. They tried that and it didnt really work or look good. I need help, she wants to wear shorts and feel normal out in public. When we go to the swimming pool she will always feel like someone is judging her. I hate it. If you know anything about this skin problem that is called pibaldism please let me know, if you any skin doctors please tell me PLEASE!!!! She needs to have normal skin soon. Thanks.

I know the dictionary definition for frail. But I think the doctor means something more.
My mom is 80 and had open heart sugery this summer. Though she is recovering slowly, the doctor and nurses said she is very frail.
What does the medical staff mean when they add "she's very frail" to the rest of the prognosis?

I've noticed that my mom has been rubbing the top of her breast lately. When I saw her rub it she gave a strange look. She hasn't said anything about it. I know that if you have a lump on your breast you should see a doctor to see if it could be cancer. I don't know if my mom is feeling a lump or not, but she hasn't seen a doctor. I want to talk to her and find out what it is, and if it is a lump, convince her to go see the doctor, but I don't know what to say. And it would be awkward. But I know I should say something. How should I bring it up? What should I say?

Now I have a lump in my upper arm and my PCP thinks it could be 1 of 3 things. 1- a cyst, 2- lyme disease 3- the cortisone liquid has settled in my arm. She says it feels like there is fluid in this "Lump". I am going to have carpal tunnel surgery on Nov 20th. She said if it is Lyme Disease I will know because the antibiotics they give me for my hand before surgery will take it away. I think it is the cortisone liquid. Has anyone who have ever gotten 3 shots ever experienced this? Please let me know. It also gets warm and it hurts.
