Question by Marvin: Where could I pick up a catalog that sells Medical products such as Diabetic testing machines?
It does not specifically have to deal with Diabetes, but just medical products/medications in general.
I am located in San Francisco,CA. Thanks

I drink like 6-8 glasses of water daily, I’m always thirsty and go to the bathroom a lot, and during the night I go like more than 5 times, I was tested for diabetes like 6 months ago but the test came negative? what else could it be? please help!!!
the dr. said that I needed to get like mental help because I was very worried about it, but I don’t think that helped.

I got tested for diabetes and the results came back border line, but not fully diabetic. Except now i think i am a full diabetic.

I have EXTREME thirst, fatigue, sometimes blurred vision, weakness, dry skin, charly horses almost everytime i sleep sometimes so bad i almost cry, and numb legs which used to get really bad at night when i lay on my stomache but have gotten less frequent.

I have been on Seasonale/Jolessa for four years now. In the past four years I have gained 50 pounds. Now I am not super active but I eat no more than 1100 calories a day (I am a veggie-head) and occasionally we eat out or go to Subway. I do exercise at least 30 minutes at least 5 days a week and have two young children with whom I help practice soccer and other sports regularly. I also swim for fitness.

Per the advice of my OB-GYN I have been taking Seasonale continuously for the past four years. I haven’t had a period at all other than breakthrough bleeding. I am considering completely stopping birth control..I am continuosly gaining weight and it doesn’t seem like it is going to stop anytime soon despite my exercise and healthy diet.

I have noticed over the past week maybe more that I have been peeing ALOT more than usual. Whenever i drink anything it is like it comes right out in a the next hald hour. I even go when I haven’t been drinking anything! On average I visit the bathroom 3-4 times per day. But lately I have been going at Least 10-15 times per day. No pain and got a UTI test. It was negative. Also got a pregnancy test but I would have ovulated about 1 1/2 weeks ago, so these symptoms would have showed up immediately after getting pregnant. Also I have been omitting gas like you wouldn’t believe. I also was tested for Diabetes because of the sudden frequency in trips to the toilet and that was negative as well. Anybody know what else it could be. Like I said this is way out of the norm for me, not to mention i doubt i can have children. I have visited other sites and people report showing signs immediately. Something isn’t right. Can anyone shed some light for me???
I’ve not been nervous, I really wasn’t even focused on being pregnant until these strange things started occuring, I only show a couple symptoms of PMs and thats sore breast a week before and irritabitliy. I have read that there are two reasons for frequent urination, one reason being the kidneys flushing outt he toxins in the body, can start as early as 2 weeks after conception. And I mentioned before I got tested for UTI today and Dr. told me my urine was as clean as a whistle….???

I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia as a child and lately have been having an increase in problems. I don’t usually test my sugars but today I took my sugars an hour and a half after eating dinner (chili, one roll, and a glass of soda) and my sugar was 215. I thought that was pretty high for a relatively low sugar meal (aside from the soda). Could I be diabetic??

Diabetes test during pregnancy was negative. Daily amount of stress doesn’t often vary, although it is somewhat high as a norm. (I am a single mom w/a toddler.) My blood pressure is on the high side as a norm. I’ve tried several different brands of shampoos & conditioners. I know I need to see a Dr., but haven’t due to personal reasons. How do I get my hair to grow back & how long will it take? In the meantime, can you recommend a cosmetic remedy for a woman with long blond hair?

A friend of mine is not taking medication for diabetes because he has no money or insurance. He drank apple juice to try to keep his sugar level good and then he tested positive for alcohol. Could this be true?
I was getting ready to have him go to the free clinic when this occurred; he was living at a homeless shelter and they kicked him out; I don’t know where he is now but he does realize how important it is that he gets some medication/treatment for his diabetes.

We both work, me just part time because we have 2 children under 4 and my partner in the police.
For a few months he has had problems with his foot, it being really painful to walk on, he has had tests done in hospital which they said it was Tendonitits, then his GP said it was nerve damage and sent through an appointment to see a specialist.

Anyway the past 2 months my partner was drinking water like no tomorrow and within 3 weeks suddenly lost 2 stone, so he checked for diabetes whilst out at work and his blood was over 30! So he has now been diagnosed with type one diabetes, but now the hospital have said his nerve problems in his foot could be due to his diabetes not being recognised, (we are a bit annoyed as he had a urine sample done over a yr ago and there was traces of blood, they checked his bladder but found nothing so left it, we have now found out this is a sign), he has now had a week off work after being diagnosed and is due more time off for seeing a specialist because of his foot and also because his eyes have got incredibly worse (obviously due to high blood but been told sometimes it doesn’t rectify) we are hard working and dont claim any benefits so this is a new thing but could he be entitled to Disability living allowance due to some days he cant walk because of his foot, when it flares up bad the only thing that has helped is to not put too much pressure on it for about 3 days and we just cant afford for him to keep having time off work and im scared his work is going to start getting annoyed, please help! x
