I'm 73 and 've been Type-2 diabetic since 1981 ( insulin-dependent since 1996). FBS: 76 mg/dl, PPBS: 141 & Hb A1C : 6.5 (Aug.16, 2013).

The problem for over 2 yrs 's been my inability to fold all the fingers while writing. My index finger rises involuntarily, once I start writing. If, however, I fold it forcibly, the writing becomes shaky, signature doesn't tally with the specimen. Consulted more than one Endocrinologist. The inconvenience persists, physical therapy notwithstanding. Am I to pull along this way?
