Hello to you all, I am new here. I don't
have diabetes but a good friend of mine in
puerto rico does.She has had a terrible
time controlling her sugar levels. They
are continuously high. Sometimes they
level out only to surge upwards again.
She eats a very good and controlled diet,
walks regularly. She has lost over twenty
pounds this last year and is getting
frustrated with this all. Please note she
also has had a heart valve replacement and
takes coumadin as a blood thinner. Are
there any suggestions on any topics that
she or her doctor might be overlooking.
She has lived by the book since her
diagnosis a bit over a year ago. It
frightens her as her brother died 7 years
ago from complications os his bout with
diabetes. He however didn't take care of
himself as she does. Appreciate any info.
Jim
