[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1235439, member: 88961"] Carina, there do appear to be many things where diabetes is mentioned along the way, however, my view is if I keep myself in good shape and keep my diabetes in a good place, I'm doing the best for myself. I think often there is a word missing when the diabetes link is made, and that's "uncontrolled". So, my view is uncontrolled diabetes is implicated in lots of other conditions. So many of these big, potentially life altering conditions are a lottery. How many people do you hear of who have condition x, y or z, and think; "I'd never have guessed that. They're so healthy!". All we can each do, whether diabetic or not is to keep ourselves as well as we can, and if we have an issue, like infections, foot injuries or whatever, don't delay unduly having it treated we can't do much more. We also have to get on with living our lives. I intend to be around fr a long time yet, and I still intend to travel and have the adventures I've always loved. I hope you can do the same. :) [/QUOTE]
