1st):

Ralene as a medical professional of over 26 years, I understand Diabetes II and the problems that go with diabetes type I or II. As for how you are dealing with it, is your choice and his, but I feel that he may be becoming addicted to this help. Suggest to him adult/teen pull-ups such as "Goodnights" or other brands and pull-up vinal overpants for bed time, and for the day time the same. He can change himself and do it relatively quickly without embarresment or on the dependability of others, whether he be 15 or 19 years old as has been suggested. As i write this you may already be doing this, and if thats the case forgive me, as I just found this site. Type II Diabetes is most generally a child/teen problem that can resolve in time or develope into more serious type I (Insulin dependent). Hope all works out for you and him, my prays are with you!

2nd):

Need Help; You state that you are 15 y/o and had this proble at 13 and now again at 15. Are you actually wetting the bed at night or is this a physiologic occurance that all males and females go throuth at this time in thier life (i.e.: Nauctural emition?) this can begin at different times for pre-teens and teens, and wetting can occur with this. If this didn't occur then and is now this could be the explination and not to worry it will pass, if it didn't occur then the (nauctural emitions), and was wetting purley, the problem could still be the same, and again your body is just catching up, or it could be due to stress or other physiological problems, may-be an underlying psychological problem that you are not aware of or are denying. In any case you should seek out help from a friend, parent or school counselor or family physcian, but in no case should you let this get to you, except as a concern! Wear a pull-up, or training pant with vinal over pants to bed, and if the problem occurs during the day time hours and with-out warning, deffenetly seek a physcians care and inform your parents, as they need to know and can assist you with any needed additional help. As with with above type II diabetes may-be a factor or worse. Don't sit in the dark and hope it goes away, help is available and you need to seek it out! Good Luck!

Now for my question, and a little background on me.

I am a 45 YOM that is single, never married and has no children. As I stated before I am a medical professional of 26 yrs. That profession was as a paramedic with 10 years in an ER and ambulance service and FD as a crew chief (company officer).

In the early 80's I was in the military and on a mission that even today is still classified. I was the recon team leader and FFO (Forward Fire Observer) for a battleship, after calling in a succesful navel strike and trying to get to our evac position, my team was ambushed by a group of rebels. Out of a team of 5 to include myself, one didn't come home alive, but we brought them home as we never leave one of ours behind. I was bayoneted twice, (and yes, contrary to popular belief, bayonetes are still used even today as I write this, and very effectively), once in the liver through my balistic vest and uniform and the second time as I was on the ground trying to recover from the first strike. The bayonete was of the type on AK's and SKS's, round with a "flat screw driver tip". The second thrust didn't go through my balistic vest but was rather placed just under the lower seam and then thrust into me. The penetration wen deep enough the hit my bladder and the controlling nerve to it.
