Newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic. Just moved, no money or insurance, and have no idea what I'm doing.?
Hey there, will try to keep it to the point.
I'm 20 years old, and 5 months ago I had a bout of DKA and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I was a cook at the time, living in Virginia with my wife, and I lost my job because of how it was nearly impossible to do my job and try to learn my disease. We are now in South Carolina with my wifes parents, and I have found another job as a cook. I am having the same problems; I can't stay at my station for more then an hour because I either end up sluggish and nauseated, needing to give my self additional insulin, or I'm bottoming out and about to pass out. I can tell my boss is getting frustrated. I have no insurance, so no way to see a doctor, and practically all of my paycheck goes to my diabetic supplies.
How can I learn how to manage my diabetes better? My blood sugars are wild, usually getting as low as 40 and as high as 350 on a daily basis, even trying to follow what the E.R. doctor told me to do and advice I've read offline.
I could also use any advice on how to help keep my life together. My wife is frustrated, so are her parents. Not at me, but at how complicated it makes everything. I want to go back to school, but my medical needs come first, and my boss doesn't trust me working full time. (I only work about 20 hours a week.)
4 AnswersDiabetes7 years agoDisease and deadly force?
I asked a similar question earlier, but not as precisely as I would have liked. When interpreting the laws for deadly force, which says deadly force may be used if you either perceive a situation as life threatening or capable of causing great bodily harm, is disease taken into account? I have type 1 diabetes, and a simple fractured eye socket or a major cut or bruise can lead to amputation or a life threatening infection.
1 AnswerLaw & Ethics7 years agoIs disease considered in a situation where deadly force is used?
I have type 1 diabetes. It takes me a lot longer to heal from any injury compared to others, and I am much more prone to life threatening infections. A pulled wisdom tooth took 4 days for the bleeding to stop, and ut became infected, even while taking antibiotics. I have been receiving threats from an old "friend," saying he has going to have me jumped. If I am attacked, will I have the right to defend myself with deadly force? I have tried to avoid the situation as is, but he is hardheaded ad doesn't won't to accept my apology for just saying I don't feel that modern Marines are heroes, and he is a Marine.
2 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoHuge pile of medical debt piled on me. How do I go about getting it taken care of?
Going to keep it short and simple.
3 months ago I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I had to be taken to the hospital because of DKA, I was there for about 5 days. A few weeks later, I was taken to the hospital again because of serious hypoglycemia (bs 38).
I have gotten all of my medical bills together, they total around $30,000.
I am 20 years old, married, live in Virginia, and me and my wife make about $16,000 a year. ($8000 each) Can not afford health insurance, either.
We are also both students.
What do I do?
6 AnswersPersonal Finance7 years agoWhat's up with all but one of the Presidents being cousins?
There's no way in hell that's a coincidence. They can be traced back to King John, who was also I guess coincidentally the man who signed the documents allowing for the English to settle the New World.

5 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWhy are there so many stupid people on Yahoo!?
All I see on the political section is "Liberals" bashing "Conservatives", and vice versa. Most people don't even know what these words mean, let alone any political ideology that may be attached.... Is it just Yahoo that's this ignorant, or is it most of America? I don't see too many Americans what so ever that could even tell me who the Rothschild family is.

4 AnswersPolitics8 years agoDo you honestly think that Conservatists and Liberals are a group of people?
Conservatism and Liberalism are two terms describing the two sides of the Democratic Politcal Spectrum: The Right and Left wings.
The Left Wing consists of Liberalism, Socialism, and Communism, in that order according to extremeties. You can tag this side with words like Democratic, Federalism, Progressive, Inclusive. Criminals would be viewed as social and economical victims. Homeless are seen as downtrodden. Children are raised with "nuturing love." Has an "All for one, and one for all" mindset. Helps those who cannot help themselves. Rather Pacifist with military conflict. Prefers personal freedom over economical freedom. Interferes with society.
The Right Wing consists of Conseratism, Nationalism, and Facism, in that order according to extremeties. You can tag this side with words like Concensus, Individualism, Traditional. Criminals are viewed as a threat to society. Homeless are seen as lazy. Children are raised with "tough love".
Has a "Survival of the fittest" mindset. Helps those who help themselves. Can be aggressive in military conflict, especially concerning resources. Prefers economic freedom over personal freedom. Does not interfere with society.
Educate yourselfs on the two sides, and the important of balance. Anyone with half a head can see that a majority of people on Yahoo are stuck on end, or the other, and ignorantly make both Liberalism and Conservatism look bad. Outside of balance, the only other choice is an extreme like Facism or Socialism (We are leaning torwards socialism currently, with our majoritaly Liberal Democratic federal government.)
3 AnswersPolitics8 years agoLiberalism Vs. Conseratism: Why is this a competition?
Liberalism is important to protect civil rights.
Conservatism is important to promote wealth Development.
Why is such a large portion of America anticonservatist and proliberal, even though a balance of these two preferences is neccesary to strive?
Does the growth of the lower class over the past decade reflect these changes in ideals?
Would President Obama and other politicans (I refuse to say Democrats) intentionally grow the lower class to make the majority an easier group to appeal?
Is American properly educated on the strengths and weaknesses of a democracy, and differnt forms of democracy, so the people could better understand the balance between the Left and Right wing of the politcal spectrum?
6 AnswersPolitics8 years agoHow much more politically ignorant can American be?
Conservatism Vs. Liberalism.
Republican Vs. Democratic.
Red Vs. Blue.
None of this solves anything. Do not favor any politcal preference over the other. An intermingling of the two, and more (we lack even a third party, let alone a fourth or fifth), is nessecary to protect the liberties of America. Proportion is best. Extreme liberalism spoils a nation, while extreme conservatism leads to Aristocracy. An eagle needs his Left Wing, and his Right Wing, in order to soar.
16 AnswersPolitics8 years agoDo you consider the American Government system equal and just?
Social-classes and demographics have a huge impact on politics. As of today, 52% of the population is considered at best lower middle class, making $29,000 or less a year. Since the lower end of the class system have the majority of the population, we can consider the Lower Class to be the ruling class in todays American government system. Since the middle class is the most heavily affected class by government policies, it can not be considered fair that the most heavily affected group are the governed, not the governors. Since todays government policies are most damaging to the wealthy and upper-middle class, these higher class are depleted, and the inferior classes grow in numbers. This maintains a majority in the lower end of the social class spectrum, and allows politicians to more easily gain power by appealing to the interests of the more needing lower class. The middle-class tends to be more diversified in politcal beleives then the more conservative wealthy, and more liberal poor.
