  • Interesting topic, I just had my yearly diabetic eye exam last month, and left eye 20/55 right eye 20/30. Left has always been weak, right always 20/15. But my bs are now in the low 100's compared to the high 200's low 300's. May hold off on buying glasses for a while now. See if it clears up.

  • I think so too, mid waist deep relieves approx 50% load off lower back, chest/shoulder deep 75%. I won't have $ till end of month but will know if I get discount before then. Even 50% will lower monthly cost to around $20 a small price to pay for my health. Wish I could get some relief from pain, but orthopedic surgeon…
  • Thanks, I talked to YMCA they have water aerobics, tai chi for diabetics, silver shoes, and offer scholarships for low-income. Will go tomorrow to check it out.
