it's good for getting a plague for one. the translation of anthrax in finnish is 'pernarutto' eg. 'spleen plague'.

Yes, it's a pain in the ass, but with discipline and exercise, you can reduce the bad things you hear about it. I can eat pretty much what I want, as long as I count carbs and adjust insulin to match, and watch the fats. Exercise helps a great deal, as it has awesome sugar-lowering effects as well, if you maintain a good consistent regimen.
I have just been diagnosed with the disease.
I have long suspected I had it, but I fear doctors. 😕
Anyone else a diabetic, and could you share your experiences?
And yeah, insulin is produced in the pancreas, not the spleen. My problem was auto-immune in nature. My body suddenly decided that the cells making insulin in my pancreas were foreign invaders and killed them off over a period of a few weeks. Not very nice and I kept thinking I was just not feeling well and was sleeping like 18 hours a day, and finally my mom dragged my ass to a clinic where they found my blood sugar was like 800+. They said I would have eventually just gone into a coma and died without medical attention.
Keep on top of your condition and you can expect to have a fairly normal life. Keeping your blood sugars as near as possible to normal is key. The Hemoglobin A1c test is the best measure of how you've been doing over time and your goal should be to keep your A1c numbers as low as you can. Don't starve yourself though, as low blood sugar can be dangerous too. More so when you take insulin, but if you don't, you should still be aware of what it is and how to counteract it. Get a blood glucose meter and use it often. I use mine 2-4 times a day on average, sometimes more, sometimes less. See your doctor every three months at a minimum for the A1c test.
Good luck to you and stay on top of it.

My guess is you got it from being too sweet.
God only knows how a sour old man like me got it. 😞
