[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 933519, member: 17713"] Same age as you and independence as well when I was diagnosed @mrsvimes. Perhaps its knowing that we had nobody as back up that has kept us going without reliance upon others. Like you I've seiously had to accept different foods (not low carb because I've been like that since childhood) but now with slow colonic it narrows choices of food. So accepting change for health and independence is vital. Sure, I'm lucky with my partner who does his best and always has for me but he has never had to take time off work or care for me because of a hypo. Its never occurred to me that he would have to. I fewl for people that have to have carers for ill health as it so often does come down to families. However we have no family, no children so no fall back even as OAPs we will have to rely upon ourselves which is quite scarey... [/QUOTE]
