Hello everyone. I am a 36 year old type 1 diabetic and have been for 26 years. I was diagnosed at age 10. At age 12 I had a severe peptic ulcer and went into a diabetic coma with a bg of 2640 yes you are reading correctly 2640. I was rushed to LeBonheur's Children Hospital and stay there for 10 days (in coma 5 days) All the dr's thought I would have brain damage but thank God I didn't. Currently I'm taking humulin 70/30. I was wondering if any of you have had problems with tendinitis? I have it in my wrists. It took dr.'s a couple of years to figure out what was causing all my arm pain. They keep blaming it on my diabetes, but I finally found a great rheumatologist who diagnosed me with tendinitis and gave me 3 rounds of cortisone (steroid) shots and it helped for a couple of years, but know it is back and worse than ever. There are nodules forming all around my wrists and it hurts very badly. Well guess what, that dr. has left town along with most of the other rheumatologist and there is a 3 month wait just to get a call back to set up an appointment. If anyone has any ideas on how to get some relief I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and can't wait to become friends with you all
