    The SCREAM thread

    When people say there is a cure for diabetes.

    It isn't a cure when you fix a problem only to have another one . Also why would both types need a transplant ?

    Gastroparesis.

    At this point I cannot eat anything without having all the mentioned symptoms . I can't eat solids all that much . I do prefer cool foods though I guess mostly because they tend to be foods that are easier on me . Fiber , seeds most solid fruits are a no go .

    There is Orthostatic Hypotension from diabetes that often times can have symptoms that resemble seizures. I am sure your physician has alright thought of that but it is a complication of diabetes . Most people think neuropathy just affects the extremities but it is much more complicated than...
