I do not understand your reasoning at all and your and your opinion of my condition. Are you suggesting that I do not have diabetes or that I could not be lowering my blood sugar to a desirable point where I feel well? Are you thinking that because I am not on medicine and not sick my doctor is incompetent? No, he doesn't bother to teach me because the blood sugar numbers are satisfactory to him and I am doing well. But I know that I can do even better and protect myself against sight damage, hearing loss, and dementia which can be a result of poor diabetes management. I encourage you to study the matter further. Dorisena

I have had insulin problems for forty years now, and began with nausea and dizzy spells if I smelled food or had an adrenaline rush from fear or anxiety. I walked in front of cars and didn't know where I was at times until I ate something to stop the spells. The doctor didn't seem to know much but sent me for the "sugar test" where my blood sugar dropped to 35 on the report. I learned how to manage the problem from a paramedic and from a neighbor whose friend gave her a suggested diet. At that time there was little known about low blood sugar problems so I "cured" myself with diet and stress reduction, and I walked a lot in addition to the gardening. I did not know that my body would change to high blood sugar problems 25 years later as the insulin worked less efficiently in my body. I hope I can live out my life without getting type one diabetes when the insulin doesn't work at all. Then I would need shots, I know. I am happy to share my success with people who are struggling. It is wonderful to not be sick with this disorder. Dorisena
