I can now see distance and have a bunch of reading glasses for close up. I'm in my apartment thanks to a program that got into Section 8 housing. I just had my first annual inspection but I'm having a hard time believing it's been a year as of August I've been in here. I also now have SSI and Medi-Cal (California's version of Medicaid) so for the fourth time in a year I'm having to change Doctors and specialists again. Nobody seems to be able to handle someone with so many diagnoses. Hope to…See More
Clayton Bruster commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Diabetics With Eye Problems'"Wow, I was going to chime in here but it seems there are far more knowledgeable people than me. LOL! I was way past legally blind for a couple of years. Legally blind is 20/200. My best eye was 20/800 and the other so much worse they didn't…"

Clayton Bruster commented on Clayton Bruster's blog post 'Sorry for my long absence.'"Well, the last thing I remember was being so very confused. Trying to figure out how to send a text on my phone that I had sent thousands of texts on before. Next thing I knew I was waking up in the hospital. They told me my glucose levels were in…"

- My name is Clayton Bruster. I'm a semi-retired and disabled photographer and artist located in the Hacienda Heights (Los Angeles County), California area.
I am also a diabetic. I was diagnosed as type II in March of 2006 after showing many different symptoms as I'm sure you all know here. They finally figured out I developed diabetes and it was throwing off a lot of my other systems in my body and making anything I previously had wrong much more prominent. In less than a month I went from a pill a couple times a day to two different pills three times a day, Lantus at night and Humulin R on a sliding scale during the day. Not to mention all the other pills and meds for the vertical problems that presented themselves. But life is beautiful and I love to capture that beauty and sell it. ;-)
I have some slide shows above of some of my work. I have done a lot of model portfolio and art work but I have also done a lot of events, glamour, fashion, portraits, landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, birds, sunsets, product shots and you name it.

I haven't been on here for a while and for that I apologize. The depression is set in and I find it so hard to do anything anymore. On top of that it's even harder to do anything that has to do with talking about my health or diabetes. Where to start? I don't think I blogged it here yet but last January I was on the streets of Bellingham Washington for a few days and had nothing with me. No money, change of clothes or anything but like a good diabetic I still had my meds. Well they found me… Continue
Type 1.5 or LADA Diabetes
Posted on April 15, 2011 at 12:44pm 3 Comments 2 Likes
I've been confused over this new classification and as I was researching I found this article that seems to explain it pretty well. So here it is:
Type 1.5 Diabetes
aka Slow Onset Type 1 and LADA
Type 1.5 is one of several names now applied to those who are diagnosed with diabetes as adults, but who do not immediately require insulin for treatment, are often not overweight, and have little or no resistance to insulin. When special lab tests are done, they are found to have… Continue

I went to the Clinical Social Workers office today and she helped me push to get some answers. My MRI's of head and neck came out good. WooHoo! No blockages or aneurysms found. High Resolution CT Chest Scan found the Interstitial Lung Disease but they still don't think it's bad enough to be causing the problems I'm having breathing. Two more tests being ordered. For one I'll have to go to USC or someplace out East. Can't remember where he said. So, once again, I know what it's not, and some of… Continue

- Hi there, I wish that I could give you some of my furniture. I had furniture already and when my mom and dad passed away I got all of theirs and had promised them that I would not get rid of it. I moved from a townhouse into a small apartment and now I have too much. I like the zen feeling, when things are kept very simple. For me now lesser would be better. I hope you get what you need to be comfortable. To bad you live on the other side of the country. I would like to help.

- Claytin. How are you doing? You doing any better? Were you able to get furniture? Did you try the places I suggested. I worry about you as you have gone through so much. Keep me posted. I care. Reed
