My gf has diabetes, she thinks she is getting fat, she has put on 3 kgs in like 2 months, i think she is dumb, and she is sexy, but she is getting realy hurt, and its hard cause even when she isnt hungry she has to eat when she is low, and that so she can keep it in controll, i wanna know if there anyway she doesnt have to eat or drink when she is low, or something, she exercises and stuff, but i wanna fix it and im curious if anyone has any helpfull hints or something ?? regards isaac

ahhhh sorry but you can't "fix" diabetes. It is a chronic medical condition that she will have for the rest of her life. It is necessary for her to treat a low because if she doesn't she ain't going to live very long.

You need to be supportive, learn about her medical condition and help her cope with it.

im not dumb i know u cant fix it, im asking is there nething she can do to help, like alternative's. something, im under the understanding if u use insulin u start slowly putting on weight slowly, there has to be something i can do for her?

Im glad you are being so supportive of your GF. There are certain things we need to know, What insulins is she on? How long has she had Diabetes? has she ever though of a pump?

If she doesn't want to put weight on then she needs to watch her diet and exercise on a regular basis. That isn't a big secret :)

novorapid and protophane

thats the insulin she is on, she has had it 6yrs and she is looking into a pump atm, do they help with any mayjor things?

[Cinnabon]

Yes pumps help a lot. I immediately cut my insulin dose by 50% and it makes it easier to loose weight. DIabetes is VERY complicated and difficult on the body. Insulin, our only remedy, keeps us from loosing weight (unfortunately).

kool that helps a lot, can u tell me rough prices, i got told like 5000, is it true, or what?

[Cinnabon]

Give or take, mine was $6500.00 (MM 715). Does she have insurance? A lot of Insurance companies either cover it completely or a portion. You also have to deal with all the supplies to maintain a pump.

thanks that helped a lot, thank u very much, while im at it, if someone did something to show you that they understood ur diabetes, what would it be, this q is mainy posted at girls.

I hate to say, but all Diabetics are different and your question is quite difficult. Your GF might have a system that works for her and not for me and vise versa. I think that it would be great if your GF looked into getting a pump. The weight loss is the least of her problems when it comes to Diabetes.

yeah that part i understand, but she thinks different, cause she is silly, anyways thank for all your help, atleast i know where to come if i need nething
thank you, bye
