This web site, Your Famly and Diabetes, was created to provide information on diabetic conditions that can affect any family member.

The information contained here is not meant to be a substitute for professional medical care provided by a qualified doctor or any other health care professional.

Diagnosing any health condition must be done by a health care provider of your choice.

Some pages give general symptoms for diabetes but any symptoms must diagnosed by someone who is knowledgeable in diabetes. If there is any doubt as to what the problem is, appropriate lab tests should be done to determine the causes.

Some medications have been mentioned because these may have been prescribed for diabetes.

DO NOT take any medications unless they were prescribed by a health care professional and you are under the care of that professional. Also, DO NOT alter your prescribed dose without instructions from your doctor.

I am not suggesting that there is a cure for diabetes.

Videos presented are not meant to reflect recommendations concerning any forms of treatment. They are NOT to be taken as medical advice. Each person has the ultimate responsibility for choosing the treatment that is right for them or their family.

Some pages deal with alternate forms of treatment and may include herbal remedies. Botanicals have been found by some to help them control their diabetes. These are also mentioned.

Not everyone is comfortable with non-traditional forms of treatments but I have included this information as others are open to using these natural products. I am in no way endorsing such procedures or the use of herbal remedies, again it is a personal matter.

I have consistently tried to emphasize throughout my site, Your Family and Diabetes, that it is absolutely necessary to seek professional help early when you begin to suffer any type of health problems. Your life may depend on it.
