    listen to a diabetic IM 11 IM and also I’ve had for eight years. It sucks. But in a way that is good. Most would agree with me. Responsobility teaches. I go into a field of diabetes in Texas for six weeks during the summer, is so funny!

  11. nick19994 says:

    I’m 13 and my mom said I should just go through a phase of growth. . . I lost 25 pounds in a week and a half I drank 01:50 pack water for three days I wake up in the middle of the night atleast 5 times and I feel like Kool-Aid that I do a lot and are very sweet craving. And if I drink two bottles of water I was still thirsty. What should I do?

  12. frisbylogg says:

    I hope you do not have it (diabetes type 1), but it seems to me like you have some of the symptoms. If you are going to the bathroom a lot and makes you wake up. . . especially in the middle of the night, you may have. I had 19 + hours for years. If you are in diet soft drinks and food requirements may also be a sign.

  13. Oopstoobad6275 says:

    SRY stupid question: Type 1 diabetes is type u can not stop. . . but type 2 is caused by poor eating habits? — I think I have it. . . im drinking lots of water. . . hmmmm

  14. Emmisha says:

    Diabetes is a metabolic disease. Diabetes mellitus type II or is created by what you eat and drink. We eat and drink junk. The body can not recognize as food. Pancreatic cancer starts badly and you have it. The doctor says you’re the only limit is already in possession. It ‘s like being pregnant small. Eat real food and take care of yourself. This is a bad disease.

  15. DonRobertoLazar says:

    I found a diabetes and a drink that has FDA approval, for more information visit the website during the hydradeusa used for special forces and NASA for years. I can not drink the juice or wine, beer, drink your water too great because of what they said hydroxide. I also use it to lose more pounds and was good for me. I’ll be back soon, when I reach the weight I need to lose a drink wowowoo large with great taste.

  16. gymman1031 says:

    I have a question! My trainer thinks I may be diabetic. I had blood tests at the doctor’s office, but he says that although this may not be able to diagnose. I LOVE sugar. I drink 1 1 / 2 to 2 bottles of Coke a day at work. All my favorite foods are full of sugar and / or carbohydrates, for example. ice cream, potatoes, bread, pizza, pasta, ketchup. I also like to drink beer and wine. Could I have diabetes? Where do I go to get tested if I may?

  17. inthefieldbelow says:

    I was diagnosed with type I diabetes when I was 11 years, nine years ago. . . . Navigator would be cool. They need to release this to the public. . . .

  18. rcmodelr says:

    Also keep in mind. . . TYPICAL type 1 diabetes appears during childhood or early age. . . But it can also be better later in life! Some other films says “too much insulin or insulin is the problem of type 2 diabetes.” But there is a third type, called type 1. 5, which will meet in life who looks to type 2, early diagnosis, but over time the body produces insulin closes, such as in 1.

  19. glove48 says:

    Although the origin and treatment of type 1 and type 2, can vary and there is a key to the elements, they need to know what your reading is blood sugar at any time. FreeStyle Navigator, that young type 1 bars shall be issued by the FDA for the public. Both types of diabetics need this in order to regulate and control their lives.

  23. wwcherylww says:

    Diabetes type 1 (as mother and daughter) are not the same as type 2 diabetes (the last woman had). Type 1 (also known as juvenile diabetes) is not caused by poor diet and lack of excersise. It is an autoimmune disease usually caused by a virus.
