I was treated with salazopyrin and spent weeks in hospital with acute kidney failure which has left me with 30% function. I developed type 2 diabetes about 25 yrs. ago and now have the usual  problems ie diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and 2 snapped tibial tendons. Some years back I jumped on the upturned buckle of my seat belt and ruptured my anus which could only be partially surgically repaired. Consider the effect on normal toilet life with ulcerative colitis. I try to  keep my fasting bgl between high 4's and low 5's (mmol/ml) and HbA1C in the low 6"s .</p></blockquote><p></p>
