About 3 weeks ago she broke one of her toes. This normally would not be a big deal but she has type 2 diabetes and it had a small wound on it. I did not know this(she hid it from me) and last wednesday we went off to the beach with my family. She was limping around a bit during the trip but she claimed it was just a small scratch. Monday morning when she got up it was black as can be from the tip of her toe to her first knuckle. We went to the ER and her toe is pretty much dead. She has to have it removed to protect the rest of the foot. The good news is she has great circulation of blood right now and it does not appear to be spreading but it is still scary as a diabetic. Surgery will be either later today or tomorrow. Please pray for her to come out of this safe with the infection dead and no chance to spread anywhere else. I appreciate it!

Excellent prayer, fren!
How kind, thank you 🙏
Lord God Almighty i pray that You would fortify her body for the surgery and a smooth recovery afterward. In the name of Jesus Christ i pray, Amen.
Prayers on the way fren.
Try EDTA chelation and hyperbaric oxygen for circulation, to prevent future amputations.
wrote down both of these. Going to look into them
My diabetic father-in-law had a foot wound from a slight accident that would that would not heal, they amputated his entire foot. Then they amputated up to the knee. He had a prosthetic leg.
Then he got an infection that would not clear in his hip on the other side, so he was in a wheel chair the rest of his life.
To me it is barbaric to amputate body parts if non-invasive methods help . . .
Yes!!
To me it is barbaric to allow type 2 diabetics to roll around in their horrible diet and exercise habits like a pig in the mud, rewarding them with insulin for years instead of presenting them with a strict diet/exercise plan and a hard date of "no more insulin."
It pissed me off so deeply when I found out that losing weight gives your pancreas back the ability to generate insulin.
The pancreas isn't dead unless it goes necrotic and has to be removed.
These "type 2" diabetics are literally curable.
Doctors have no interest in removing the "type 2" diabetics from the teat of Big Pharma.
It's horse shit. Do better. Lose weight.
I am a victim of my fat fucking stupid ass mother imparting me with her fat fucking stupid ass eating habits and now at 31 I am still losing the weight and trying to think of food differently and trying to do stuff like be active and play sports.
My mom used to come up with every excuse for me to not be physically active too!!!! I want to be physically active and do karate—too expensive!!! I want to be physically active and play football—you'll hurt your head!! I want to be physically active and do all this stuff with my friends—where are the adults supervising you huh? So incredibly fucking gay.
Being raised by fat fucking piece of shit pedos is the worst.
I see all fat people as not caring about their husband/wife enough to take care of themselves.
And if a child is fat they are automatically being abused by their parents. The fat is evidence enough of abuse because childhood obesity IS child abuse, but childhood obesity is just the ugly head of the iceberg named "ALL THE OTHER SHIT THEY ARE DOING TO THAT CHILD."
I have a cousin who went through breast cancer 3 times, the whole thing: surgery AND radiation AND chemo. She has no breasts left now, of course.
What was her risk factor for cancer?? Obesity. She would go through all that misery and expense three times! But "can't" lose weight.
I will pray for your wife’s speedy and full recovery, fren. And since you are open to helpful resources, I highly recommend Dr. Richard Bernstein’s book “The Diabetes Solution”. He was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic in his youth, and was told he would not make it to adulthood. He is now 89 years old and still helping others overcome the disease. His own journey with diabetes serves as an inspiration to anyone serious about improving their health. God bless!
My jaw just hit the floor reading your response. I just learned about EDTA for cholesterol and a host of other issues today and spent a good bit of time reading study results. It's some pretty powerful stuff with no negative side effects. There really are no coincidences.
Dear God be with this couple in their time of need. Be with the surgeon and his team.
In your sons name Jesus Christ.
Amen.

We are with you, Fren.
Praying the Spirit leads every heart, hand, and head involved in her care, and that you are filled with peace and confidence.
Amen!
Dear God; please help Taran77’s wife come through her surgery with NO complications. Please heal her, Lord. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
O holy apostle, St. Luke the Evangelist, we ask your intercession on behalf of all doctors, especially Mrs. Taran.
Humbly lay them at the Divine Physician’s feet asking that they have: the wisdom and knowledge necessary to treat their patients effectively and restore them to physical and mental health; the compassion and empathy necessary to be of comfort to those who are suffering; and the strength and grace to fulfill their duties as doctors.
We also ask that you pray they are kept safe from all harm and that they never succumb to the illnesses they are treating.
O blessed St. Luke, we thank you for your prayers and assistance. Amen.
Awesome prayer!
Done, Fren❤️ Keep us posted how she's doing!
Prayers to your wife.
Terrible News brotha. I never understood the correlation between diabetes and amputations.
Diabetes can cause poor blood circulation and slow wound healing. A simple cut can get terribly infected due to improper wound care or poor blood circulation. The infection or the lack of blood flow can cause the tissue in the area to die.
Depending on the amount of dead tissue, allopathic medicine prefers to excise the tissue or amputate the problem to avoid spreading or becoming systemic. You would think by now with the advancements in allopathic medicine that they would have figured a way to resolve without amputation but what do I know? We've got enough older congress critters that you know there's some pretty potent stuff out there that we're not privy to.
Feet are the biggest danger. If the diabetes has progressed enough to the point of being out of control many people get neuropathy in their feet - they start to lose feeling or actually have pain. The reason that is bad is you could get a splinter, or a rock in your shoe, or a simple cut on the bottom of your foot and not feel it at all. Meanwhile the cut gets infected, or the rock or splinter creates a sore that gets infected. Eventually gangrene sets in and you lose your foot. That's why most health insurances require foot exams and can even allow pedicures for diabetics.
I'm type 2 and it is well under control, but I remember when I first found out I had it. I was looking at houses to buy and we went to one where the agent tried to tell me I had to take my shoes off to go inside. I was still new at the whole diabetic thing and was super paranoid, so I told her I wasn't taking my shoes off in an unknown place (after explaining why) and that I would simply leave and look at other houses if she couldn't accept that. She accepted it of course.
Fast forward 20 years and I still have no foot issues, but I still never go barefoot. Some of you might have seen me post before about how I love those MyPillow Slippers and wear them all day (working from home). That is the reason.
Type 2 diabetes... you mean the optional version of diabetes.
Lose some fucking weight.
"No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." -Socrates
You lose weight your pancreas goes active again and your life as a diabetic is over.
Stop eating cake and brownies and motherfucking ice cream 24/7. Drink nothing but water—you can put a splash of lemonade in a big ole cup of water to make it more palatable to your sugar-seeking self.
Do some cardio on an elliptical machine—it won't even kill you!!!!!!!!
Shred your muscles in the gym at LEAST twice a week—muscles are calorie-hungry, and bigger muscles eat more calories!!!!! You get big muscles and they eat your calories for you, I'm talking PASSIVE DIETING, like passive income.... you get these muscles and now you get to lose calories for doing nothing!!!!!! NOTHING!!!!!
Come on, man!!!! Do better!! My brother lost a bunch of weight trying to find a woman in college, but fattened up when he got married, now they want him taking diabetes pills!!! I told him do NOTTTT fucking take the meds but get back on the dieting horse!!!!!
Wow you sound like a dream to be around. You would think someone with "mother issues" would try to get out from underneath that and ensure they don't pass that attitude onto other people (since they know how bad it was for them). I guess you haven't thought far enough ahead yet to realize you are doing the same stuff you say your mother did.
Does it make you feel better about yourself to put other people down who are trying to build people up or help them from doing further damage? Cycle of abuse - right? Do better.
not trying to put anyone down just no respect left for willfully fat people
God has this brother. You just must know it, not believe it.
God please watch over and protect Taran77's wife. Give her strength to overcome her pain. In Jesus' name, Amen.
🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sending prayers. Same thing happened to my husband's grandfather many years ago. Stubbed his toe, got gangrene in it and it needed removed.
love&light
Prayers up.
I will keep you all in my prayers.
Also, if you have access to a hyperbaric chamber, some have had success reestablishing circulation in tissue they thought was beyond help. It's worth looking into.
Prayers sent. 🙏
Prayers lifted up for your wife’s swift healing ❤️🩹 🙏🏻
Prayers going up now for your wife now! 🙏🙌💕
Please let us know how she does after the surgery.
Amen!
Complete and total healing I pray!
Let’s try some of God’s gifts of natural medicine to my fren. ALA Alpha-lipoic acid for the diabetes, L- arginine and L-citrulline for circulation, and oil of oregano and black seed oil for the infection “oral not topical”. God bless
Haven't people cured their diabetes with low carb/ carnivore diet?
Doctors like to say it will never go away, but keto/Atkins/low carb has helped a lot of people get off their medicine. I dropped my A1C by 7 points on Atkins. Eventually I'll get the last point or 2 and I can get off my meds as well.
Note - this is only for type 2. Type 1 is a whole different animal. Attempting a diet like keto without working with your doctor would not be ideal.
Also the first time I tried Atkins my blood sugar went extremely low several times before I figured out how to do it right. I almost wrecked one day driving when my blood sugar plummeted. I got bad tunnel vision on the interstate, but I recognized it was happening, got over 3 lanes to the next exit, and got a can of (non-diet) Coke and ate a pack of Twizzlers. I was ok in about 5 minutes. It was my fault - I had picked up my daughter at the Pittsburgh airport so we could go to my grandmother's funeral in western Maryland and didn't stop for breakfast on the way. I was also tired because I drove all night from Texas to get there and meet her. That really freaked my daughter out.
I learned to be more careful, and now that my A1C is much lower I don't have that problem anymore. If you are diabetic and contemplating doing a low-carb diet please be careful. Ask your doc for diabetes education courses/classes. They helped me a lot.
To be honest I don’t know, but I think I’ll investigate that.
Praying for her surgery, and also for healing for the diabetes.
Prayers .. You both are on my list tonight..
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying for you both for courage and faith in God's healing power.
🙏
Prayers for your wife. I have been through this with my mom. She will need to take her healing very seriously. The wound healing can be stubborn.
Prayers! Have her drink colloidal silver and apply topical silver ointment. My parents saved my grandmother from an amputation, healed her wound on her foot.
Praying for you and your wife, fren. I wish you both the best.
I also wanted to point something out to help your wife in the future, because many, many people aren't aware of this: diabetes is caused by insulin resistance. And insulin resistance can be reversed with the keto or paleo diet (i.e., cutting out all carbs and sugar). It truly is that simple, but doctors never tell people that, or even hint that a change in their diet might help with their diabetes. I hope you find this information useful.
I pray to God to watch over you both, fren. :)
We actually just started on the carnivore diet! Meat, cheese, and eggs. Great results so far in the weight area.
That's great to hear, fren. The carnivore diet works for this as well. Some people recommend taking additional supplements to replace the nutrients you're not getting from veggies, but others say it's fine. But either way it's a very healthy diet. A lot of people among the population also have allergies to certain fruits and vegetables, so cutting all of those out makes them feel a lot better.
If your wife is losing weight it means her body has probably already become "fat-adapted", which means it's now using fat from her diet (as well as from her own body) as fuel, instead of carbs. Hence why she's been losing weight. So it sounds like her body is, already, no longer reliant on carbs, and that's great. If she sticks to this diet she'll have more energy and better health, and her insulin resistance will go away eventually.
Again, best of luck to the both of you with everything. God bless. :)
See my comment above, and good luck with your diet! I am also praying for both of you.
🙏💖 sent for your wife fren
