سلام عليكم : للمتحدثين باللغة العربية ولهم علاقة بمرض السكري بكل أنواعه أتمنى أن يشتركوا في هذا الموقع الرائع وسأقوم انا بمساعدتهم بالترجمة والمساعدة

As a pediatric endocrinologist I was very happy to join this wonderful group,I learn many things about diabetes care,health care system in different countries,awareness campaigns,political issues that concern diabetes allover the world and most imoprtant to get to know people from everywhere.
Diabetes is uniting us and bringing down any false barriers that can come between us.
The wonderful thing also on this site is Art! Recently all of a sudden I became a poet,publishing my first book last year,and two are under publication,beautiful photos and attitude can send me writing,and forgive my english,I write in Arabic,but also in english.
Many thanks to Manny who started this family,and thanks to all of you.

I changed my profile,I have my patients who are mainly type1 but more come with type2,I have relatives with diabetes,and modern way of living proved thar I came from a population genetically predisposed to develop type2 diabetes. So I do belong here,I should not feel uneasy any more......

hello Sohair, just stopping by to say hi. I'm not sure if you are aware that Lois is having surgery today to remove her foot. We are all praying for her comfort and recovery.

I am doing ok with my diabetes (over 2 years now with my a1c in the 6s) but I'm still dealing with the wound on my hand.

Hi Sohair,
I haven't written in a while and missed talking to you. Things are well out here. Work goes on as usual. I just got to see my Dad for a few hours while he was in town on a senior trip. He and my step mother are getting ready to go on a month long cruise to the Orient. It should be nice for them. Now that we are getting along so well it will seem weird not speaking to him for a month. My A1C's are down to 6.7 and my weight has come down about 20 pounds, so things are in the right direction. Lately my sugars have had some sudden drops. Four years of major spikes upward, now I get up at 3am with sugars at 66. Such a roller coaster.
How is your family? I hope all is well with you as well. I am just enjoying a rainy day reading and listening to show tunes. My kind of relaxing. Talk soon.
Mike

Sohair:

I am doing just about the same. Got a look at my left foot x-rays and saw 2 chunks of broken-off bones. One is poking out near the bottom of the foot ... the one they have been scraping out of my foot for a few weeks. I suppose that I will have to have surgery to remove them because I just can't imagine that would be very safe to leave them there floating around freely to reinjure my foot.

My spirits are up and down. I can never tell what's going to affect my mood. Sometimes it's really easy to keep myself balanced and other times it's quite hard to remain positive.

Hope all is well with you and you are finding the start of this new year to be everything you wish it to be.

Love,
Lois

Hello Sohair, thank you for your Christmas wishes. We had some days of snow here and the snow turned our night into day. All turned very quiet and every step made a nice crunching sound...

I wish you and your family a happy new year 2010.
