[QUOTE="hellobear007, post: 260137, member: 42951"] So sorry to hear about you husband Ellen. When I was younger (in my teens and early 20's) I thought that complications from diabetes would only happen when I got really old. I guess I was in denial too. It was only when I started to get blind spots in my vision and was diagnosed with macular degeneration that it all became very real! I though, im not even 30 yet, how can this be happening. That, and reading posts like this has made me realise how precious life is and now I MUST take control of my diabetes and my life before it is too late. I have a friend a couple of years older than me who is now blind in one eye and her kidneys are failing due to poor care and management. Take care xx [/QUOTE]
