[Nfb-krafters-korner] Didn't have surgery

Mon Feb 1 23:35:35 UTC 2016

Yes, I remember that newsletter and the group.  I wondered what happened to it.  I know ACB has diabetics In Action, but I've not kept up with them either.

 I was one of the
 monirators on the email list for the Diabetic division
 when
 the email list first got started and
 that went down the drain, too.  The
 newsletter with all the great articles which
 was being distributed through
 out the world
 was stopped because of costing NFB too much money to print
 and
 distribute.  It definitely was a
 resource for information for Diabetics.  Ed
 Brient was the President and editor of the
 Diabbetic division and magazine.
 I can't
 remember what the magazine was called, but someone in CT won
 the
 contest to name the magazine.  I served
 on the Diabetic division as a board
 member,
 secretary and First Vice President.

 The times I
 have talked with the president of the division, they do not
 do
 much outside of national convention. I
 was able to talk with him regarding a
 talking meter but they no longer have a
 division newsletter or magazine.

 Check with the
 NFB and see what material they have.  I know they have or
 are
 creating a diabetic division.  Check
 with Sharon Maneki from MD.  Not sure
 if it
 was state wide or division wide.
 410-715-9596

 Good luck to both of you.
 God
 Bless from Terry, Henry and Sophie

 FYI,

 The diabetes education classes
 are NOT accessible They talk through about
 half the material but you are sent home with
 printed material and the
 customized portion
 is only in printed material. I asked about digital
 versions and was told that is not available
 (they get it off a computer so I
 really
 don't understand why they can't make it accessible
 to me).

 They keep asking me
 to take these classes and I have begged them to put it
 in the file that it is NOT accessible.

 All of my education is done
 from what I can find online to educate myself.
 And the biggest problem we have is that you can
 find renal diets and
 diabetic diets but not
 a combination so you still have to do it on your own.
 (FYI, renal diets will put diabetics in a
 coma.)

 That is what I
 am seriously thinking about.

 Right now I don't want any surgery done
 until I get in pthis Thursday at 2
 PM] to
 see my endocrinologist and then March 1 go back to my
 medical doctor.

 I am back, but will
 take a few days off.  I went in for the surgery and my
 blood sugar was too low, so they sent me
 home.    I did get a bit excited as
 the
 surgeon came in and said well we will just sweeten her up a
 bit.  He
 went out and the anesthiologist or
 whatever she is came back to say she
 refuses
 to do it.  I said start an IV and give me some glucose. 
 She
 refused.  She wanted the nurse to get
 me something before I left.  I had put
 my
 jacket on and was about to walk out of the room and the
 nurse came
 running in and handed me a small
 can.  I took it and walked out and while
 walking down the hall I asked my son what was
 it a can of?  Hee told me diet
 Coke.  Now
 they are all idiots and I don't think I will go there
 for surgery
 for anything.  They all need a
 lesson in diabetes.  I am sure I wasn't the
 first diabetic that has walked in their door
 for surgery.
