Good luck. There is no help in American with Republicans in control. As for me I'm disabled and pre diabetic. If I get it bad I will refuse insulin. I'd rather go to sleep,life has been hard for me.

Hi Migdalia!
What kind of help are you looking for.....supplies or doctors? You can try the ADA (American Diabetes Association). Since you have no income you can try calling the drug companies of the meds you are on and see if they have programs that you could sign up for to receive help. Every drug company has some help even if it's a onetime deal. With no income, you would have to fill our a form and you should be able to get help. If you take insulin, you can call or email the Lily Company. ww.diabetes.org also. What about the doctor you see? I did get all kinds of supplies for free but now he moved so I am out of luck with that. What about your township? I didn't have any insurance either and it was soooo tough. When I lived somewhere else, I even had to go to a Catholic church for help with food and they graciously helped me. Now I am about an hour from you. If you would like to email me...dnorvell2331 at hotmail.com, feel free. let me know what you find out. If you email me put in the subject line, yahoo answers.

first of all there are clinics that are free in your city. A Dr. or hosp. should be able to refer you to one. Second, there are several programs out there to help with meds. A social worker should be able to direct you to them. There is also an 800 number on television guit often and on the Montel Williams show for this program. Lastly the diabetis, you obviously have use of a computer and there are Many excellent places on that. There is both education and diet guidlines. Also many recepies that will help you cook less expensively. Rember that for economic reasons you will need to cook from scratch more but once you get the startup it is not a lot more expensive. Good Luck

Hi,
I hope things would turn easier for you very soon. I am sorry to say it is quite amazing to learn of Americans like you when Bush is pumping huge resources in Irak and spending hundreds of Billions of the tax payers money to fund Israel in its ongoing campaigns of murder against the Palestinians.

Please, I woiuld advise that you go to the nearest religious establishment (church, mosque...) and seek for help, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks

I am sorry to know that you are really passing through a bad time in your life at this age and may be I can help a little to ease your sufferings. In order to keep your blood sugar level under control, you need not to panic to visit a doctor. There are no Allopathic medicines available in the market that will cure the diabetic conditions of humans but they will control the disorder up to certain extent. The disease is developed due to eating disorders and hereditary. In the first place, I have never accepted diabetes as disease but considered it to be a disorder. The medicine is readily available at home in the form of natural products and you need not to go to market to purchase expensive medicines. To keep the sugar level under control, follow my suggestions and see the difference. Drink the juice of one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach in the morning on a regular basis (drink this juice twice a day if you are insulin dependent) until you start feeling relief and your blood sugar level starts decreasing and continue further for a very long time until your sugar level reaches border line. The sugar level will certainly come down. Eat plenty of cucumber before meal to quench your thrust and to fill your empty stomach. Cucumbers are considered and proved to be very good for diabetic patients. Diabetic patients are always hungry to eat but can not eat all. Avoid banana, mango, custard apple and sweets like ice cream, pastry and cold drinks totally. If you are insulin dependent, even eating rice would be very harmful. You can eat fruits like guava, pineapple, pomegranate, papaya, muskmelon and watermelon. Taking one tea spoon Fenugreek powder and quarter tea spoon cinnamon powder on empty stomach before breakfast daily would be beneficial to diabetic patients. Regular brisk walking for one hour daily would be the best ideal medicine for diabetic patients. Cut down on non-vegetarian, fast, spicy and oily food, aerated cold drinks and foods rich in calories. Correct bowel movements if constipated. Avoid alcohol and tobacco also. Tea and coffee are also bad for health because the Caffeine promote calcium excretion from the body and results in calcium loss from the bones. Drink plenty of water daily. Take one tablet of Diabecon (By Himalaya an Herbal Health Care Company in India) twice a day with water after meal if available in your country as a maintenance dose for your diabetes and one tablet of Mentat by the same company twice a day with water after meal for your depression. For your pain, you can mix equal amount of turmeric, fenugreek and dried ginger powder and store in a clean glass jar. Take one table spoon twice a day with hot water before meal. Take care and be in good health.
