Dear All,
I write to ask kindly for any help / advice you can offer. I was diagnosed in 1983 aged 6yrs old. I grew up in a living hell - as many did. despite this I made international recognition as an athlete, rugby player and weight lifter.
Working within the pharmaceutical industry I realise day in and day out what hell we diabetics live (type 1)
To the nuts of my commentary:
When you ask your GP/HCP/Nurse for help - do you get it? I have asked for years (10+) to be considered to be funded for an insulin pump. My HBA1C is never good enough... I injected nearly 40yrs to my body hundreds of thousands of injections, creating fatty tissue and slow release reserves. I’m struggling to survive.
anyways - I’m losing my sight. Left eye with advanced maculopathy and beyond intervention, my right eye has advanced retinopathy... spend a lot of time watching my babies/children as they sleep - as I fear I won’t see them much longer.
Carpal tunnel in both wrists means my long post will end. Pissing blood / ******** blood and really lost the will to keep being better. I was better served as a child - our support has died, and many deaths will follow. Minority only counts if you are vocal and making of history.
many advice, I’m throwing up due to high sugars again... thanks for reading
