Virginia wants each of you who are recently diagnosed with diabetes to learn from her over twenty years of experience in dealing with this depressing diabetes disease.
Virginia put together a good list of her own personal diabetes tips and recommendations so that you might follow her advice and be able to delay or even avoid many of the more common diabetes complications that diabetics are often confronted with as their diabetes progresses throughout their lifetime. The main key to this is to try to target, control and maintain your blood glucose ("sugar") levels within the ranges instructed by your doctor.
One of those common diabetic complications that Virginia confronted was problems with her eyes, or what eye doctors refer to as advanced diabetic retinopathy. You can read more at the following link about Virginia's personal struggles with the fear of losing her vision due to advanced diabetic retinopathy.
Our main diabetes site contains a lot of good information on diabetes.
Have a wonderful day, and please remember to control your blood sugars and insulin levels for your good health!

Welcome to our new blog about diabetes!
If you have recently learned that you are a diabetic, diagnosed with diabetes 2, or you have a loved one who has diabetes 1 or diabetes 2, please check out our main diabetes site for more in-depth information about diabetes.
We will be covering a wide variety of diabetes related topics here in future blog posts. For example, we will want to highlight some of the amazing recent advances in the treatment of diabetes and the potential for a possible cure of diabetes and diabetes related complications.
We will also want to focus on which foods a diabetic should eat and which foods they should avoid so that their blood glucose (“sugar”) levels will not spike completely out of control and increase the likelihood of them developing common diabetes complications.
Perhaps the best place to start for those of you newly diagnosed with diabetes is to share Virginia’s heart-breaking story about a common diabetic complication that develops in many diabetics, proliferative "diabetic retinopathy," which can lead to blindness if insulin levels are not maintained at appropriate levels over time.
