If this person would not mind I just got back from the hospital yesterday from my my 2nd in 3 months. They just blew it off saying it was was DKA did they tell you that. Also did you get bit again or because all the meds they gave you finaly wore off and it came back.Because there are alot of ticks aroud here and I like to go fishing. I've pulled plenty off. Thanks for your time and good luck Some one had writen about the 14 hospital visits and the ICU units.

I'm on the pump and continuous glucose meter and have learned to "mostly" manage my disease. I have been very ill for two years and a year ago it was diagnosed as lyme disease and various other coinfections. Living with Lyme is about a hundred times worse than living with diabetes, at least for me. I'm trying to research how Lyme affects blood sugar when a herx (worsening of symptoms, but means you're getting better) episode occurs. So far, no luck. My most obvious lyme symptom initially was severe fatigue, just slept or had to lay down all the time. Then it moved to joint pain, tremors, floating spots in vision and really, really poor balance. The brain fog is unbelievable. I have a good Lyme doc, btw. Anybody out there find any interesting info regarding patients that have both diabetes and lyme?

It nearly killed me, especially since it wreaked havoc on my diabetes. 14 hospitalizations later, 5 of them in the ICU, I had finally been diagnosed after 5 months. That was in August of 2009, and I'm still on antibiotics. Talk about medical drama, and insurance woes...I feel terrible for you and your family's misfortune of "meeting" Lyme Disease. I will pray for you, pray for recovery and offer my best wishes, always. I am type 1 diabetic and was diagnosed with Lyme Disease.

Since then my youngest son was killed. The grief is overwhelming. Would this affect the diabetes. How does one know if one is depressed or not? I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 last year.

Did you know that NY has the highest number of reported cases of Lyme each year? PA is second with about 5000 cases in 2008. The CDC estimates that only about 10% are reported meaning that >50,000 a year are infected in PA. Good luck. I’m form rural PA and also suffering from Lyme.

I think this is a great place to post something non-diabetes related. as it affects you and your family. You've been a great source of information. Why not educate some others on an obscure. but frequently written about. disease? While I don't have Lyme disease myself. I wish your husband well. as a member of the D community! Mike C Hi Amy.
