[Diabetes-talk] "Too Young for Insulin?"

[Mike Freeman]

Hi,Everett.

Yup; it's a fairly common (but easily-fixxed) complication of diabetes (both
Types 1 and 2). The gal of whom I wrote had the operation to fix the problem
under local anesthetic and the surgeon actually asked her to try moving her
finger while he was still working on it. Worked with no problem so he closed
up the incision. I don't even think she experienced much discomfort.

Hi Mike, and all,

Not to beat a dead horse, but, Mike, you mentioned Trigger Finger. I have
had both my middle fingers operated on to fix that 'locking up' thing when
you make a fist. That was due, supposedly, to calcium deposits building up
on the sheaths that surround our knuckles or whatever the case is. 
Pinching my tendons, causing Trigger Finger. So they cut open the sheath,
which is rather like a napkin ring, I'm told, going around the knuckle. 
They cut it open to allow the tendon to move freely again. Those operations
were about 15 years ago now. Forgot about those, so thanks for the reminder.
;-)


Strive On!
Everett
