confusion of a diabetes n00b

Zomigj, how did you guess? I guess Kaiser is more notoriously lousy than I thought. It seemed perfectly serviceable when nothing was wrong with me...

confusion of a diabetes n00b

Thanks Dave, my father is an engineer (a mechanical engineer) and so are all my uncles and most of my cousins. I understand the engineer mindset and right now I wish I had it. I am too frazzled (at...

Wow, an email, huh? Well, I s u p p o s e that is better than no doctor ever catching on that you might have a problem! Anybody would be in a tail-spin hearing news like that. It's weird because he sort of dumps this possibility on you with no fur...

haha, they have their pros and cons just like every other insurance. My advice since you have KP is, find a really good primary doctor that you like because once you have your "pre" (I dislike using that. Ether you have it or you don't) diabetes u...

Thank you for the friend add Stephanie. I was actually up in your area a few weeks back. I was vacationing in S.F. and Half Moon bay, both are beautiful cities. I ate lunch one of the days at a place on the coast called Sam's Chowder House (near HMB), voted best Lobster Sandwich in the USA,lol.

Please let me know if I can be of any help with your Pre-Diabetes condition. If you eat a decent diet, exercise a little each day, take your medicine and have a semi-positive attitude you will live a long and healthy life my friend.

Cheers!

Danny
