all are very treatable.the diabetes and ptsd may be the limiting factors.but even these ,if properly treated can give you a somewhat normalife span. but the diabetes will probably do you in a little earlier.\nbut what the hell you're still alive.the time you have left is gravy.i know several who didn't come back alive.

Even if her blood-sugar is reasonably well controlled, she can still die from complications or be left permanently blind or otherwise disabled. One of my friends lost his sister to a diabetic pregnancy, and she was a very good diabetic.

My wife is the bravest person I know.  She was diagnosed with Lupus at the age of 15.  The doctors told her that her life expectancy would be ten years.  Imagine being told that at fifteen.  Last year she turned 28 and finished dental school.  She is doing great.  We are planning on having our first child next year and have been given the help and support we need by loving and caring doctors.  Our life is wonderful, inspite of this terrible disease.  She has her good days and her bad ones.  Sometimes she can't walk up a flight of stairs or carry in the groceries but we look at eachother and laugh realizing that our kids will probably have to push us around in wheelchairs when we get older.  I love her more than anything and she feels the same about me.  I go to the doctors with her and share in her care.  There is hope out there and you have to find someone who will be willing to take the journey with you.  I'm not saying it's always easy, I have my down days too, but I wouldn't change a thing.  She has made me a stronger man and I have been able to have the life that I only dreamed of.  I wish you the best of luck.  Don't give up hope you'll find someone out there who's willing to share life with you.

Yes and no... \n\nDiabetes, when left untreated for an extended period of time, can be a "killer" disease. Untreated elevated blood sugar levels have harmful effects on your eyes, nervous system, kidneys, and practically every other major organ system in your body. \n\nBUT... the good news ... \n\nDiabetes is also a very controllable disease. With proper medication, diet, exercise, you can live for many, many years with the condition. Sometimes complications are inevitable, but so it is with every chronic illness out there. \nRemember to eat well, exercise, and take your medications as prescribed. Work with your doctor on coming up with a individualized treatment plan for your specific needs.

HI. My son was diagnosed with MODY 3.  You are right there is not a lot of comprehensive information.  What i can tell you is what my late husband experienced, but it's not pleasant.  My son is currenly 13 years old, I don't expect him to show symptoms until he is 16, but we keep him checked.  My husband was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 24, he had it unbeknownst to him since he was about 17, he did not do the greatest job taking care of it, he had multiple eye surgerys and was diagnosed with kidney failure at the age of 31.  He was on dialysis for 3 years and died on his 35th birthday. It is a very tragic tale, and I am going to do everything I can to keep my son from going that same route.  My late husband was not a drinker, not a smoker and not over weight, but his diabetes was very progressive and aggressive. All I ask is that you PLEASE take this very seriously and take care of yourself.  If you want to chat more on this..I'd love to hear from you.

It is possible to live as long as someone who has diabetes. Researchers are on the brink of getting it to that point. The medical community announced there was a new weapon in the fight against AIDS. This new weapon was found in pregnant women. Many women have died from AIDS who were pregnant or had once been pregnant. The new weapon found in pregnant women is lysozyme. In 1999 the announcement was made on national television. There isn't any hurry on the part of medical researchers to help people.\n  Lysozyme works. Peppermint oil lozenges when combined with the enzymes in saliva ( particularly lysozyme ) form a powerful weapon against the virus. Any top AIDS researcher in the world will be able to verify and explain how peppermint oil lozenges will work against the AIDS virus. It can be a potent yet cheap alternative to keep people alive even in third world countries.

All of my relatives from the generation before mine (Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents) died at relatively young ages.  Mostly in their 60's and early 70's from complications of such things as diabetes, high blood pressure and the like.  My mother on the other hand was diagnosed with diabetes at in her early 40's and has taken extremely good care of herself always watching what she ate.  While everyone else simply dropped dead over the years she is still here.  She has alzhiemers and is suffering miserably.  It is horrible to watch what she is going through.  I think of my uncles and aunts that ate what they wanted, smoked and drank until they just fell over, then I think of my mother's horrible suffering in her old age.  I am now middle aged and it is time for me to make some decisions that may decide the length of my life.  In weighing my options I'm beginning to lean towards enjoying everything life has to offer and leaving the end up to the fates.  At least I'll get good lasagna and if I have to go, well I'll go.  I'm not so sure I want to live a long, long life, now that I've seen the results of keeping your body healthy longer than your mind can last.  I would like to live as long as I can be relatively healthy.  I would not mind living in a nursing home if family came to see me regularly and I could keep my mind active.  I would not want to live with my children.  I don't want them to go through that for me, even if they want to.

There are many.  First I would write down when and what you are doing when this happens.  Arthritis, RSD, Hypocalcimeia,,, I have had the same thing and it took two years before the doctors could do tests and eliminate each.  Surgery and alot of work from myself keeping a daily notebook regarding my symptoms.  In the end I had all of the ones I mentioned.  You need a good doctor of immunology who can tests and find out exactly what needs to be done and find a course of treatment.
