Yes,Yes and YES! I have really struggled with the sense of shame

that I have failed. Not only did I only loose about half my excess

weight(and I was a lightweight to begin with) but my diabetes came

back. I will always wonder if I had eaten better if things would

have been different. However, most days I have the same outlook as

you, that is in the past and now I just need to deal with it. I also

thing the chronic c-diff played a big part for me. The chronic

infection has to of influenced my blood sugars.

I was tested for the antibioties for type 1 right before my DS by an

Endrocrinologist. I told him that my doctors were always arguing

with me about which type I am (because my mom was type 1 and I was

16 at onset). He said the test would tell us forsure and it said no.

Therefore, I am type 2. With that said, yours does sound like type

1! Not to mention that it is extreamly rare for a type 2 diabetic to

get ketoacidosis (so I'm told).

I see Dr K on July 3rd and I plan to talk to him about it. But I

don't know if I could go through another major surgery and risk the

c-diff coming back. My family thinks I'm nuts for even considering

it. Plus, if they shorten my common channel, I am afraid I might get

vitamin deficent, even if I take my supplements religiously (which I

do right now).

Does that answer your questions? :0)

right or something. I wanted to ask you if you are type 1

diabetic. After my surgery, I was very close to death because of

the diabetes. ...

may have not come back as soon as it did. But, that is water under

the bridge. I just have to deal with it now.

and I am going to ask him this question. If it is possible that the

diabetes can go away again with a revision, I might consider this in

about 5 years.

I don't know why we blame ourselves...habit maybe? *lol*

Another thing we have in common...unfortunately. My mom died from

her diabetes a couple years ago when she was 52. She had a big meal

the night before and alcohol, which I am sure both contributed to

her death the next morning.She never was very compliant with her

diabetes. She only did the minimum to keep herself out of the

hospital and failed at that many times!

We really should get together sometime. We would have a lot to talk

about!

isn't our fault? I guess because I was told by my family that I got

diabetes cause I got fat. But, that really isn't the truth if I got

it as a teenager.

ketoacidosis. She got diabetes around the age of 52 or 53 and died

at age 55 from the ketoacidosis. She was using crank to lose weight

and her sugars got out of control. She didn't want to get on the

insulin. Stubborn.

My mom died March 18, 2006. I work M-F 8:30-4:30pm. You can always

call on my work number, did I give you that one?
