In July I did blood tests. My insulin was 23 where it should be below 10, bloodsugar was 6.7 where aparantly it should be below 6.5 (I unfortunately do not know the units that these were measured in). The doctor said I was insulin resistant and he put me on a low GI diet and I started doing some exercises (30min power walking a day). After losing 30kg's I got another blood test. This time my insulin was down to 8.3 and my bloodsugar was 6.2 (all these teste were taken fasting). The doctor told me I'm not high risk anymore, but high risk for what. I am confused and do not know if I am a diabetic or not.

One of my cousins, who is 35, has called me yesterday saying she has got a serious problem as she started peeing with blood for almost 5 days. Some say that she needs to lose weight as she very overweight and change her diet( she eats lots of spicy food and carbs), others say it may be that she has got gallstones that need to be extracted from her organism and as a result of friction they come up in the form of blood. Any suggestions?

Time and time again, people get so mixed up on type I vs. type II diabetes in this forum. Can we get enough supporters out there to demand a subtopic tree under diabetes for type I and type II?

From Wikipedia: Insulin shock therapy (also called Insulin Coma Therapy) was used as a treatment for schizophrenia, psychosis and drug addiction, involving injecting the patient with massive amounts of insulin, which causes convulsions and coma. It was developed by Polish researcher Manfred Sakel in 1933 and was used well into the 1950s, being replaced by tranquilizing drugs and then later anti-psychotic drugs as well (which also have a sedative effect.) This form of shock treatment, along with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), derived from the notion (later disproved) that epileptic convulsions and schizophrenic symptoms were never present at the same time in one patient. Methods of administering the treatment varied and there was no precise way of doing it.

The procedure involved giving the patient increasingly large doses of insulin, which reduced the blood sugar and brought on a coma. The procedure was terminated w/ glucose.

We diabetics must be very sane. Comments?

And are some people more sensitive to changes in their blood sugar than others? I am told that I am insulin resistant. I can feel bad (extreme fatigue, nausea, sometimes get shakey, etc.) but I'll take my sugar and it's 71...which my mom, who is a nurse, says is ok. Or sometimes the exact opposite will happen and I will take my sugar and it's 135, which I am told is also "normal".
