My mother had diabetes when I was a teen. Before she died she was left a with multiple amputations and only had her right arm left. Had anyone had servere complications or know of people that have them? I am woried as I just found I have diabetes and I am determined to not be like my mother and keep control of my diabetes.

Hi Nicki, welcome to the club. (I’m guessing you were diagnosed with type 2). While my mother did not suffer multiple amputations, she suffered just about everything else and ended up incapacitated in a nursing home with dementia.

Why not do as I did and use this opportunity to learn as much as you can about controlling the disease? I have turned it around and am actually thriving on it. I’ve lost weight, I’m more energetic, and feel great.There are so many things you can do. In addition to the obvious, like diet and exercise, did you know that a half teaspoon of cinnamon each day can boost the effectiveness of your insulin? Did you know that fresh bitter melon can reduce your blood sugar? I learned all this stuff in my second year with the disease. The first year was total denial. Eating like a pig, drinking, you name it.

Why not visit my profile (click on ole Foghorn), and check out some of my findings? It’s a non commercial, personal website that I’ve posted tons of info on to help people like you and me become less dependent on useless healthcare "professionals".

So, it sounds like you need to go to the textbooks or look on the internet. I couldn’t or wouldn’t do this. Not ethical to give you what I would do. Might not be satisfactory for your instructor or whoever.

I know the big complications… I am now having all these little crazy things happening to me… I am trying to figure out what in the hell is going to happen next. Thanks all.

Diabetic complications can be classified broadly as microvascular or macrovascular disease.

Microvascular complications include neuropathy (nerve damage), nephropathy (kidney disease) and vision disorders (eg retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract and corneal disease).

Macrovascular complications include heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease (which can lead to ulcers, gangrene and amputation). Other complications of diabetes include infections, metabolic difficulties, impotence, autonomic neuropathy and pregnancy problems.
