Apologies and you are so right. We have let the thread get derailed. I raise my hand on that .Thought this was meant to be a one word fun thread!
God bless you. It must be an awful sorrow to bear. I hope you find some peace in happy memories of the time you had together.@NoKindOfSusie . If , when handling bricks you take precautions, safety boots for instance, then any mishaps will result in minimal pain to aforementioned foot. Be prepared for what life throws at you ( or drops on you ).
In my little head I would take a brick on my foot everyday rather than feel the pain in my heart of losing a loved one.
Diabetes is easy. Go talk to a parent who buries their child. I have and believe me diabetes is a walk in the park.
Good luck. Walk a little further 5' everyday if you can, even its at lunch time.Tired

I do 10 to 15,000 steps a day but can't switch head off at night the joys of lifeGood luck. Walk a little further 5' everyday if you can, even its at lunch time.
Sorry it may be a bit misunderstood. I haven't had to go through such pain and I hope i never do.God bless you. It must be an awful sorrow to bear. I hope you find some peace in happy memories of the time you had together.

1 in 20 of us will die from a hypo in the night apparently
But is diabetes a condition alone or part of overall increased risk of autoimmune attack?
T1D plus another, then undiagnosed, autoimmune disease manifested thru increasing highly uncontrollable diabetes e.g. 2.4, 1.3mM...nightly hypos and hypos walking home from work for 1/2 yr..living alone abroad b4 diagnosis. My wife left me. She couldnt cope with not knowing if i'd wake up. I had to leave my career. I had to move out of my home. I've been unemployed for 3.5 yrs out of 20 hrs possible work post education.
Now I have err fits when I hypo. Mercifully i don't hypo so much any more. Although now and then I wake in with damp sheets, a headache and my tongue bitten as well as a low sugar.
What can you do though eh. That's life.
This is why we disagree.
If I drop a brick on my foot it will hurt whether you choose to believe it in your little head or not.
Diabetes makes us do horrible things to ourselves. That is a fact whether you choose to believe it or not. If you don't want to believe it, fine, stop taking insulin, see what happens to you. No normal person would like it. If you think that just denying that sort of just makes it not be true, then you need a very serious reality check.
Lots of people do this on this forum, they say things that are lovely and positive but are simply wrong. The best one is "it doesn't stop me doing anything." Yes it does and anyone who denies that is either a liar or an idiot.
I cannot take any pleasure in all this positivity if I know that it is simply wrong.

I guess that depends on what it is you are going to do and how much preparation and risk you are willing to take.The best one is "it doesn't stop me doing anything." Yes it does and anyone who denies that is either a liar or an idiot.
