When Things Go Very Wrong

Now I must ask for prayers for my friends, please. If you know something about these two conditions please to offer some advice in the comments. My best friend and her family live below me. I have already told you about my living arrangements. Well with the economy being what it is and my friend having anxiety issues and some other health problems they both have their 3 grown sons living with them also. Two of them help out financially and work hard for the money. The third son has some mental health problems so he is mostly at home struggling with his issues. Anyway, as if things weren’t bad enough middle son Matt, who is a security guard at a Walmart passed out at work one day and was taken to the hospital. Afterward, he had to go through a series of tests. This is where the prayers and advice come in. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and needs to have regular insulin shots and then what I cannot understand he was given a brain scan and they discovered that he has pinpoints on his skull which are bleeding and this caused him to pass out. For that, he is being given coagulants. Oh, please pray for him this does not sound good to me at all and the first time I have ever heard of such a thing on the brain.

Brain bleeds are common with some heart and circulation conditions, but also can be caused by certain medications. It is better that they found out about it so it can be treated. His type 2 diabetes is not fun, but can be managed. It must be pretty severe for them to start him on insulin right away. Eating right and getting enough exercise can help with the diabetes. Lots of vegetables and lean protein.Drink water and no calorie beverages, but mostly water. I will also say that I will pray, right now as now is the best time to do so.

Thank you, @GardenGerty he is young yet in his late 20s and I am sure that he will manage well once on the medication.

sending prayers his way, I am a type 2 diabetic myself, I avoid all carbs only high fiber non-sweet veggies and meat are all I eat. This helps me avoid meds and keeps my blood sugar levels under control. I will check with my son about the other issue and get back to you,

Like heather said, both are treatable. They sounds bad but many people live with both and do fine. I have had diabetes for 12 years, I am on a pill but with a little more effort on my part and I will be off of them.

Diabetes is manageable with lifestyle choices. I really hope medicines work for the bleeding and with medicines making a vast progress many things are treated and there is recovery. I will.pray

Diabates are curable, modern medical science is just using business in disease; Yoga is much better, it is free too. Please check video and understand.

Thank you @1creekgirl they share food with me because they get a lot of stuff from a pantry here that helps economically strapped families and they love to have me cook up meals so I told them since this is a new ballgame to make sure they know what he can or cannot eat.

I agree with @GardenGerty . They will have a bit of a learning curve with the insulin shots and what not but totally manageable. Will also pray.

When i read this, with all honesty, i dont know what to say, a family having so many problems. They are strangers to me but my heart is crying. All of us, including me, have problemsin life we dont share anymore here, problems on top of another problems, so i can feel what this family is going through. But prayers are the ultimate answer to those that we humans cannot resolve anymore.

Both can be managed without too much trouble--I have about 2 dozen--yep! 2 dozen--with Type 2 diabetes and they give themselves insulin which is very quick. I have been taking coagulants for 19 years now--again no problems. Now don't get yourself stressed out--that doesn't help anyone!

I sm sorry to hear this and will pray for the family. Type 2 diabetes, now it has been diagnosed, should be able to be controlled relatively easily. Hopefully he will not need insulin injections for too long. My husband has Type 2 diabetes but it is controlled with tablets. We have also changed our diets quite a bit.
