May I have your permission to put you on my church's prayer list?
And keep us informed as to how it is going.
Wishing the best for you!
I have seen diet make a difference in non-insulin dependent diabetes. And I would not arbitrarily rule-out those suggestions. God's power is limitless.
I pray God will guide and strengthen you. And that He will preserve your sight.
Good luck Homie.
Lord God, may our friend Laz be blessed with control over the illness that threatens him, and be your good and faithful servant. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Prayers!!
Laz, I’ve been following you on FR since the late 1990s. So with great respect, I implore you to research the use of carbon 60 as a treatment for your eyes.
In the final analysis, it’s your health and your eyesight. So exercise maximal due diligence.
All the best, and good luck.
Heavenly Father, we humbly beseech thee O Lord to reach down and touch with Your hand of healing Your beloved son Lazmataz. Please Lord bring healing, comfort, strength, and perseverance in patience to your son. In the eternally Blessed Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we pray. Amen
We’received keeping you and your peepers in our prayers, Laz.
Prayers Up!
My husband is Diabetic and has been legally blind since 2013. You must take control of your diet now and lower that 300 number to 60-100. Your A1C’s need to be between 5.5-5.8. Don’t eat pastas or rice or anything white, just whole wheat. Have oatmeal in the mornings.
It is sad when one has to take their independent, retired cop husband to the Motor Vehicle Admin. to change his driver’s license to an ID because he is no longer able to drive. This happened in Oct. 2012. Don’t let this happen to you! Change your eating habits and other life habits NOW!
Best of LUCK, Friend!
Prayers up - I had a full retinal detachment in one eye and had to consider being blind in that eye so I understand how terrifying it can be - our eyesight is the primary way of interfacing with the world.
My eye doesn’t see very well but the other is decent.
I pray for a full recovery for you.....and taking better care of yourself now that you realize the full import of handling your diabetes.
How ya gonna know if you’ll “hit it” if you can’t see it?
And becoming a meme on the 'net!
You'd have to choose from being a devilish handsome dude or merely a one-eyed fat man!
Levity aside, blindness is damned scary!
I was blinded for days after an acid tank I was inspecting had an immersed heater that blew up in it and got etchant for copper circuit boards in my eyes.
For about a week it was not known whether the eyes would heal; but - Praise GOD! - they did.
During the blackout time; my other senses kicked into overdrive to help me locate and remember where things were placed in the house.
I’m praying for you; and it looks like (from the length of this thread so far) that many of us are.
Wow, prayers up!
My boy was diagnosed with Type 1 since he was 19 months. I know what an impact this disease is on your life.
Praying for you. Know that if this is type 2, then this is beatable.
Keep your chin up! Lots of prayers going up for you.
assures me that most of these things are due to an imbalance
of humours requiring little more than recycling one's urine.
You don't want to go the eyepatch route and get mistaken for
a Tampa Bay fan. We all go through tribulations and life will
takes shots at you. I thank God for each day, especially if
all my pics and gifs stay up after all that work. Stay good!
Lots of prayers for you Laz. You’ve got this.
