We have probably all been guilty of that at some point, so go easy on yourself on that score.Whatever mistakes you have made in the past can not be helped and should be left behind you. Just as long as you do not perpetuate them by continuously repeating them.It is never too late to make a fresh start but the best time to do so is now before more damage and complications. You have already had the first signs of what diabetes can do to you if you allow it. Heed the warnings. Make the right choices.As for smoking and liking it too much to want to give it up, my advice is "Find something else to like, something that will not rush you to an early grave."You know that smoking and diabetes combine to compound the risk of cardiovascular disease. So why do it?You are an adult and have the right to make you are own decisions no matter how suicidal they may appear to the rest of us. All I ask is that in making these decisions, you recognize and take into consideration, as a responsible adult, the consequences of your decisions not only on yourself but on the rest of your family.Change is never easy, but it is near impossible unless you want to happen. So make the right decision now and I am sure that you will be given plenty of support here to make the change happen,Best wishesPavlosSent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
