[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1744166, member: 32193"] Hello Susie i see you have not changed, then reason they do not tell you about life expectancy at first is that they have just told you about diabetes and how you need to manage it. I agree that after about a year they should tell you about life expectancy and the other problems a long the way. Sometimes looking at the internet scares you but they are talking a very wide range of people, when i go to the doctors for one of my problems i will only see the same doctor. I do this because the more doctors you see they will give you different advice and if you see the same one that doctor knows what has been happening. I recently had to go for a injection in my hip but my normal doctor said the other GP was in charge of that so i went to see him and one of the first questions was how is your diabetes. I told him fine since i had a double transplant nearly 3 years ago!!! Every diabetic should be made aware of any danger signs to look out for. none of us know how long we have left. I want to see my children grow up but i only have that chance because a donar saved my life, a person who went out that day and never knew it was his last. I feel guilty that a 23 year old male who was someones son, nephew and could have been a dad, also without the team at the Freeman hospital who did the surgery, Somethings have not gone the way i hoped but i still see the same doctors all the time, if you find a doctor who you can put your faith in then do it. We all deserve a life but we have to live with diabetes which is a pain but i am pleased my children and parents have not got it. you learn to enjoy the good days and manage the rest and at times do off the rails for a time.
