WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a life-long diabetic, was treated by paramedics for low blood sugar at her home in Washington on Friday morning but was able to go to work afterward, a court spokeswoman said.
The 63-year-old Sotomayor, one of the nine-member court’s four liberal justices, was diagnosed as a child with type 1 diabetes and has openly discussed her experience with the chronic illness in the past. She was named to the court in 2009 by Democratic former President Barack Obama.
“Justice Sotomayor experienced symptoms of low blood sugar at her home this morning. She was treated by D.C. Emergency Medical Services and is doing fine,” spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement. “She came to work, resumed her usual schedule, and will be participating in planned activities over the weekend.”

I’m so good at diabetes I’m up to Type 7!
resign.....do it for your country....
Buzzy on deck..!
“Type 2 is self inflicted by maxing out your pancreas.”
I read that exposure to dioxin can cause it.
She’s had type 1 diabetes since the age of nine, which means she was diagnosed in 1964.
It’s actually amazing that she’s lived this long with it, let alone not being blind or on dialysis.
We should give her credit for becoming so successful in life and living so long with such a shitty disease.
Other than that, I think she’s a lousy judge.
Must not post what I’m thinking.........
L
25th amendment for judges?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Ditto
“And I know the cure for Type 2..........”
Yep, multi-day fasting (at least 4 days straight) pretty much puts that condition to bed.

Well stated. No one deserves Type 1, and it’s impressive she has gotten this far. Just sad that she’s poisoned by leftist ideology.

Things that make Go, Hmmm...
She should retire.
I call slow code.
BobL, were you being serious there, and, if so, can you point to any websites where they discuss that "cure"?
And Salvavida, were you being serious with your post about a cure for type 2 diabetes, and, if so, is your cure the same as BobL's?
Thanks to both of you.
After surgery, I fasted for two weeks or so. I lost about twenty pounds.
I’m pretty sure my type 2 is gone
I’ve known some diabetics who lost their sight, limbs it’s a terrible disease in the advanced stage.
It is type one.
The wide Latina should wise up and think about retiring.
Yea, there are books on it. I think that “The Obesity Code” is one of them. The basic concept is that FORCE your body to use stored fat, because there’s not easy source of food (i.e., from your digestive tract).
Remember, curing diabetes doesn’t help anyone (other than the diabetics) unless a bunch of money can be made. So fasting is not doing our healthcare business any favors.
Needless to say, you’re supposed to have a doctor watching over you...so don’t blame me (us) if you have problems going it alone.
