Question:
Any Type I Diabetes and/or wheelchair user Post-OIps out there?

I am particularly interested in post-op blood sugar control experiences and post-op excercises for disabled individuals. If you can't walk immediately after surgery, what did your surgeon do to prevent blood clots?    — Nancy G. (posted on September 18, 2002)
