BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 When I read this headline my heart fell to the floor. I hope Joe will be alright and my thoughts are with him and his family. Can stress be a factor in diabetic episodes? Perhaps Joe hasn't been getting enough rest the past month. If so he may need to alter his approach in the future and delegate more to his staff. His body is clearly telling him something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I read an article about a kid with diabetes who plays basketball at Gonzaga and has to check his blood sugar level and give himself shots several times a game. Diabetes must be a real b!tch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC4 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Joe Gibbs probally went into insulin shock agter he heard Mark Brunell's contract demands :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red&BlueRivalry Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I wouldn't worry, diabetes runs in my family so I've seen some of the stuff Gibbs is going through and it's easily manageable and treatable. Talk about making a first impression with Brunell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I sure hope he recovers.... I'll bet the long hours he's put in organizing the team have put a strain on his health. In fact, this could be an ominous sign for the future. Diabetes is a daily struggle, one that Joe and his wife may realize is too tough to manage while coaching a NFL team. Pray, or think positively, for his recovery and continued good health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WM_Marylander Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Maybe the Danny told him of the pick it would cost to bring Brunell over to the Skins... and he had a senior moment and realized he still needs a RB, TE, and a Defensive Line Reworking. Noting all the problems that he would face, he didn't know how to duck out on Brunell, and instead passed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I'm a type II (diagnosed last year), and it hasn't altered my life much at all. In my case it's easily managed with metformin, a medication that alters your liver metabolism. I'm not even on a special diet, although I've lost sixty pounds over the last year. I'm probably luckier than most and Gibbs' case is no doubt a bit more serious, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I'm trying to get on a Jags forum to see if anyones heard anything else. God forbid this was more than just a scare.

MikeB Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 How you fare against any many illnesses is determined by your state of mind, and how you take care of yourself. Do the right things and have the right attitude and most folks come out on top, if not a little inconvenienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Okay, everyone calm down - it's gonna be okay. My father has Type 2 diabetes, and this is (while not exactly a common occurrence) something that is just part of the disease. If you have low blood sugar, either from a dietary reason or because of lack of sleep or any number of reasons, you can have "crashes" where you need to be treated quickly. My father has only had this happen once, and they just drove home to get his medication. I'm sure Gibbs probably just didn't have his handy. Still, this is not cool.

Skins26 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Mabye Brunell informed him that the Jags would not only like to trade him for that second round draft pick, but also Fred Taylor, Marcus Stroud, and John Henderson. And they would all play for FREE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Originally posted by Bufford T Justice Sixty Pounds? wow. What do you weigh now? How do you feel? I'm currently 215, and I feel great. In truth, I never felt bad, but I was really lousy about seeing the doctor regularly. I finally went to see him and had a blood test for the first time in ten or twelve years, and he gave me the news a few days later. Losing the weight was no problem, just a lot of self control during the weekdays and allowing myself to pig out on weekends (relatively speaking, of course - no more huge bag of bbq chips and bacon horseradish dip during football Sundays ). Anyways, another thirty pounds or so, and I can probably stop the meds altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
