Hi. My name is Jaye, I live on Whidbey Island in Washington, USA. I'm new here but not new to diabetes. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 1992. I have been through the mill of diets and drugs and even had to go on insulin because I did not have good blood sugar control. In 2003 I had a heart attack and a coronary shunt installed. While in the hospital I discovered that I was at least five years behind in knowledge about diabetes. I determined from that point on to learn all I could about the disease, and especially how to control it and get my life back. Now as I continue to learn I have some to give back. I hope I can both learn from and contribute to some of the folks here.

Jaye

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Your story is quite a lot like mine, although I was diagnosed back in 1984. I had a heart attack 4 years ago, and I had several stints installed.

Hello Jaye:

I'm sorry that you went through the scare of a heart attack. I'm not sure exactly what a stint is. It sounds like steel to me but it is probably a small plastic tube to keep the artery open?

We are Happy that you are here. We are always up for new experiences. Thank you for your contributions. Welcome!

Well, that's interesting. So they are made of steel(metal). Amazing what they can do. Thanks for that information John.
