    I'm not making a joke. Both of my parents are diabetic and I hate the though of them ever needing a limb amputated.

    That guy's been through hell with all kinds of health problems. Putting my Jazz hate aside (for everyone except Deron and Brewer, anyway), I feel for him. Hopefully he'll have no complications from this surgery.

    it can be a genetic disease..so you gotta be careful bro. Starting from now, be careful what you eat and exercise frequently. My grandma died of diabetic related disease too. It's really a horrible disease.

    Sad story indeed. At the end of the day it is just basketball and so I hope nobody makes a lame Jazz joke or takes a shot at this guy. That would be the ultimate classless act.

    I hope he has a full recovery.

    So he had the same surgery as Cotton Hill?

    It sucks, but I can think of worse things. I do hope he has a full infection-free recovery without complications.

    Yeah. You're telling me. Someone I know just died due to, amongst other weight-related things, complications from diabetes.

    Rivalry and team hatred aside, I think all Rockets fans' prayers go out to Larry Miller and his family. Not even Karl "Child Rapist" Malone deserves that.

    Diabetic neuropathy leading to sensory loss combined with atherosclerosis(hardening of the arteries) and a decrease in blood supply to the limbs resulted in this tragic complication.
    I have to watch for Diabetes because of a strong family history too.

    In the 50's, my mother's mom was diabetic and had a leg amputated. She died a week later. My mother died from complications of diabetes. My wife is diabetic. I know what that family is going through. Nothing but good thoughts, vibes and prayers go from me to the Miller family.


    Pardon me if I continue to hate on his team and their fans though!

    Our prayers go out to Mr. Miller :( . This goes beyond the rivarly with the Jazz, this is real life. We really hope that he recovers soon. It is really nice that he has a supportive family and organization to back him up. God bless him :) .
