I think age and hormones have something to do with that too...I have them on my arms, body and legs. I first noticed them in my forties and I am 50. i know of other women who have them too and they were not diabetics.
I am so intrigued by this mystery of the red dots. Hope you can post soon what your doctor says they are. Thanks for getting me thinking. My guess Diabetic Nueropathy, but I am not a doctor, I only play one on TuDiabetes. I hope it is nothing and ...
Hi Brooke,
YOU have a terrific outlook. You must be a glass half full type of gal. I am too usually. I just get down sometimes with this disease and ask why me at times. I only have it since this past Sept. But right now I'm in a glass half full m...
I don't see it as a lot to deal with. There is always someone out there with something worse. Celiac disease is an intolorance to gluten/wheat. Your body can't digest it properly so you start having, mainly, stomach problems. I really don't have t...
Blessed be, Red. I'm glad you are okay!.....Judith
Judith,
Thank you for your message, I needed to hear your words. I'm really new to this support environment and wow, I think my response was well intended but came out as judgment and not really listening to Amy's feelings.
Amy, I am truly sorry...

Robyn said… - Hi Amy,
The cat in the photo is a persian, she was my Mom's cat and when my mom passed away, she became part of our family, along with 3 other cats and 1 dog. Thank you for the comment on my family! I have 2 daughters (27yrs. and 18yrs) the little ones in the photo are my granddaughters. Some of the pictures are from Hawaii.
Thanks for the info. as well, Yes I have been on Lantus for about 10 years(?) and Humalog as well, I was interested in Levemir because I now am splitting my Lantus dose 1 in the am and one pm, workisng better for me. The Levamir I heard dosen't cause weight gain. I will ask my doctor as well, but, I am in the process of trying to find "another" Endo. Boy, good dr.'s are hared to come by. Have a good day and thanks for writing back.

- Hi Amy, I just saw a comment of yours, and it is a question I was trying to find the answer to......You take Levamir and Humalog, right? I am on Lantus and Humalog and was thinking of switching to Levamir but didn't know if you could take Humalog with it? Good to know. Welcone to TuDiabetes, everyone here are so nice and helpful, I have learned so much, and have meet some really great people!
