Doctor...doctor...doctor....go see your doctor or a nutritionist!\n\nAre you on oral meds?  How long have you been diagnosed with DM?  After a certain amount of time, if your diet doesn't control your blood sugars, your doctor may consider treating you with oral medication.  What is your weight like?  That could be a factor, too.

Lymphologists are hard to come by, most of them are located in India.  Your mother needs to find a doctor that is knowledgeable about lymphedema such as a vascular doctor, surgeon, dermatologist, possibly a podiatrist.  The key is calling different doctors offices and asking the secretary if the doctor can treat lymphedema.  A good clue the doctor knows little about it is if the secretary says "What?".  That's how I found my doctor who is a natural medicine doctor.\n\nYour mother needs to be referred not to just a massage therapist but a certified lymphedema therapist.  The therapist would treat her with Complete/complex decongestive therapy.  The therapy includes manual lymph drainage which is a form of medical massage and feels quite pleasant, compression therapy, skin care, and special exercises to promote lymph flow.  Diuretics are often prescribed to patients by doctors, they are NOT good for lymphedema.  If she has another condition such as high blood pressure then she might need to use them but for just lymphedema, no.\n\nLymphedema is a complex condition, your mother should have the support of medical professionals and family.  She is welcome to join my support group, http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/lymphland\n\nYou can find a certified lymphedema therapist on my website therapist page there are 4 different schools that have listed trained therapists:  http://www.lymphland.com/findatherapistordr.html\n\nHer doctor can write her a script for therapy, but needs to code it properly for insurance purposes if you have insurance that pays, alot of doctors might not know how to code it if they aren't very familiar with lymphedema.  \n\nCommon lymphedema codes are listed here:\n\nhttp://www.lymphland.com/insurance.html

Hello Sir,\nI can understand your problem because my mother suffered almost with the same kind of proble. she also consulted with many neuro surgeons and orthopedic surgeons but nothing happened. The only thing that helped her was physiotherapy. You better go to a qualified physiotherapist. I hope that will definitely work for you.\nI hope that the problem of your wife will soon be over.\nI will pray for her.

My son has seen a Pedi Nuerologist for 10 years....and first and foremost she has assured us that there is always hope and light at the end of the tunnel.  We had in the past driven four hours to see a specialist before she moved to our town.  As a parent, you feel helpless if you are unable to help your child and uneducated enough to understand their condition.  The main job of our nureologist was to help us understand what we were dealing with so that as a family we could formulate a plan.  We needed to live a life as normal as possible...and have.  Then she ran test (blood tests, EEG, EKG, EAG, Cat scans....you name it we did it) and she explained it all to us everystep of the way.  She put us on several medications and never lost hope....assuring us we would eventually find the right one.  She did.  She helped us participate in a drug trial that ended my sons siezures for over three years.  they are back now, but the time he was granted to bee free fropm them was well worth all her time and efforts.  Best of luck

My da died when I was 15 and I wish I had know the information in the site below. It is to late for your mom but not for others. I have helped many since I have learned this info because nobody should have to live with the medical injustice going on today!

He needs to make sure he eats well, such as the Zone by Dr. Berry Sears, this plan balances insulin levels with food. He also needs to be getting a full 8 hours of restful sleep each night. And some good whole food nutrition would greatly help him. My father-in-law has very bad diabetes, but when I found this sleep system, meal plan, nutritionals, and some other items, his life has really changed. If you would like more info. just email me.

First of all contact your insurance company. They can be a valuable resource. Second, contact your local American Diabetes Association chapter, they can provide you with endocrinologists along with a vast wealth of information. Finally, visit www.childrenwithdiabetes.com there is some GREAT help available there.\n\nPlease feel free to email me with any other questions...I've been in your shoes. Hang in there, ok?

I don't understand how you want people from all over the world to help your father? I really don't think that doctors sit on Yahoo giving out free medical advice, either. Nurses do though. I'll pray for your father. I'm sorry but that is all I can do for him. GOD BLESS YOU AND HIM!

Your ob should have sent you to a nutrionist. I have diabetes and when I had both of my children I was on a specific diet. I had to watch my carb and sugar intake. Good luck to you with your pregnacy and baby when it comes!

let your endocrinologist know that you are interested in finding out about other people with the condition in your living area. most places have diabetic camp, groups, annual fund raising, annual get together trips etc..... your Dr. should know of all of these activities. my son has been diabetic since he was 16 months old and he is currently 12 years old. if you would like to email me with your experiences i would be glad to accommodate.

Your Mum should be contacted by the Diabetic clinic or nurse, ask them for any literature on the condition, there is also a helpline number in the phone book, they will take any questions, no matter how silly you might think them, and they will answer professionally and clearly. Type 2 diabetes is not life threatening but care is needed to keep it in check. Simple precautions like taking any medication prescribed and a sensible diet will keep her on an even keel. An extra precaution would be to get her an sos pendant. The nurse can tell you where to get one. It is just a safety measure that your Mum can wear when out on her own and it lets others know her medical conditions and how to treat her should the need ever arise. Don't worry about her though, diabetes can be managed fairly well nowadays :)
