No matter WHAT the illness, or whatever, if you do not reach 50% on their rather ambibguous scale, then no disability. I have two types of diabetes, arthritis in my hands and left elbow, gout in feet and back, cartlidge problems, diagnosed lumbago, must use at LEAST one walking stick whenever I...

The German Government have anounced this week, that the extra money for diet available to diabetics on welfare, will no longer be paid, as the condition is contreolable just by "healthy eating". Hmmm :? Comments?

All this seems very silly. I was a Copper in Merseyside and stopped a guy for driving over a stop sign. He had a disabled sticker, and it was about 20:00 on a November evening. When it got to court, it turned ouit that this guy had got his disability sticker because he was .... now glue...

Aye. They sent me to a "Gehirnklempner" (Brain plumber) for depression, which I still have. But no mention was made of a possible link between diabetes and depresion. Now I know what will happen. I will translate this page and take it to my doctor, and he will saay "Yes, we allready KNEW that"...

Accepted. :wink:

WERE. That was 15 years ago. Short of moving there, which I WILL not, there is no amount of research, or medicines that will help, if the local health service does not reccognise them. Yes. But see my last answer above. This is not quite the same thing. They KNOW there is help, they CAN...

That may be interesting in the fact I can not get my Doctors notes exported from the U.K. I must look up my name and see if I am mentioned....na probably just a case number. :(

I have. But it is now coplicated by the type 2. They do not know which is an effect from type 2, and which from the other. Groups in general, no. Germany tends not to do "that kind of thing" hence I am here, and not a German discussion site (No hits in Germany at all for the illness....well...

Thanks for that. We were not closely related, well not by blood, the family was always VERY close, as friends. But it does tend to indicate what we suspected. As I said it is just a pity that neither of them would go for the tests. :? And thanks again Sue. Pretty friendly around here. 8)...

First off, thanks Sue. Good links. :wink: No it was not treted. The british Doctors sais there was no treatment. There IS for pituatry (sp) diabetes insipidus, but not for nephrogenic. OR there was not. Apparantly now there is, but because it is so rare, no one seems to know the effects of...

O.K. From another thread, I mentioned, and was asked about, Diabetes Insipidus. My form is Nephrogenic diabetes Insipidus (to give it the full title.) This is a condition carried by the Mother, and passed on. Femails carry, do not get, male get, do not carry. In theory. (See later). This...

O.K. Well rather than tell here, because the title would then lead to people missing it, I will start a new topic. Thanks for the answers and the welcome. :D Nice to be here, wish none of us HAD to be. Ragnar.

Hello people. I have a question re smoking. I DID smoke a pipe, so it is hard to say how much. 600 gram per month. I have now given up. Over night. I was simply bored with it and did not want to do it any more. That was three months ago. Three years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes...
