PRAYERS PLEASE
Oh my gosh, Shay, I'm so very sorry to hear about your friend. Exactly what happened--do you know? I'm a diabetic as well so this really concerns me as I'm scheduled for surgery the day before you (Aug 9). I was treated as a type 1 diabetic for 22 years and then was told I am a type 2 about four years ago. As a result of being treated all those years with the wrong type of medications (insulin instead of pills or both) I've developed complications and then I had a reaction to one or more of the prescription medications I take for diabetes, blood pressure, etc. This is actually the reason I'm having the surgery--to get me off my meds and give me my life back. They've screened me pretty well--I'm exhausted from all the doctor's visits and the process in general but I'm also very appreciative of the fact that the team is being so very cautious. I feel confident that I'm in good hands as is Gina. Nonetheless, please know that she's in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep me updated.....Gwen
