Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by a lack of insulin (a
hormone) in the human body. Insulin is needed by the body to
metabolize (breakdown) the sugar that we eat. When insulin is not
available the sugar levels in the body can rise to extremely high
levels which can cause diseases of various body parts like the
kidneys, eyes, nerves, hearts etc.
Many people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms, and it is often
discovered accidentally after routine medical check ups or when you
are being screened for something else.

I have on my lower left shin a sore spot about the size of 2 half-dollars that just doesn't heal. It itches a great deal sometimes; sometimes not at all. If itching, I'll wake up sitting on the edge of the bed digging away at it. I've used bandages, prescription strength Hydrocortisone cream, and Carmol 40 cream, in addition to several lotions from Walgreens.
When I dig at it, it easily moves into cellulitis, usually requiring hospitalization (5 times this year - 4 times last year). Anyone out there have success with wounds that don't heal? or spots like mine? Let me/us hear from you please. Thanks.

Our sensitivity to insulin does change. And can change rapidly. I
have a friend who is 28 and has been type I since he was an infant. In
his teen years he was very resistant to insulin and would 20 - 30 units
of Regular or Humalog to cover a meal. About 3 years ago he had some
medical issues, and came out of that trauma to his body being very
sensitive to insulin. He now takes 1 or 2 units of humalog to cover
the same amount carbs he used to eat.
