My Dad had diabetes that was triggered by major weight loss. The doctor said he didn't expect him to stick to the diet so strictly and loose so much weight so fast.

I stepped on a roofing nail in my back yard a few years ago and went from diet and exercise well managed borderline diabetic, not even on oral meds to a full blown type II diabetic on Lantis and Novolog (extended and quick acting insulins). It happened within 2 weeks.

Got a MRSA (penicillin resistant) blood infection from the nail. Was questionable as to whether I was going to live for a couple of weeks. Besides the high blood sugar levels it has really messed up my digestion, and the blood veins in my legs and in my eyes. At first they thought the complication were due to blood sugar, but A1C's are from 6 to 6.2. And they say everything else checks out okay.

Have your eyesight checked for retinopathy. That is the swelling of the blood veins in the back of your eyes. It is usually caused by high blood sugar. They have shots that can reduce the swelling and bleeding of those veins and keep it from damaging your vision!
