AMS 700 CX Deflation Block Causing Scrotal Pain/Discomfort

Re: Type 1 Diabetics with Implant

Re: Type 1 Diabetics with Implant

Type 1 Diabetics with Implant

I am type 1 diabetic seeking more information leading up to getting an implant. I want to know what other type 1's experience has been with getting an implant. Which one did you opt for and why? And what was your A1C prior to surgery?

Re: 54 Yr Old Diabetic with ED at the Final Frontier

So I am in the process of working with Boston Scientific to request an exception to a contract exclusion by my employer in my health insurance policy.

The first 10 years living with diabetes I was in denial and did not control my blood sugars very well. It wasn't until I started having peripheral problems that I started to actu...
