I've widely spoken about I lost my leg left above the knee to cancer when I was 19. And how the thought of diabetes complications scare the heck out of me.
Today at my Limb Centre I met the first guy since I was diagnosed who has lost his leg through diabetes. He told me his control was useless and for years he ignored it and ate what he wanted, didn't worry about exercise or losing weight. He greatly regrets it now. Quite forcibly told me I had to retain control and manage the condition.
Yet another personal wake up for me about this condition. Look after your feet! Keep control
