[QUOTE="JLowes, post: 152313, member: 26758"] Hi I've had diabetes for about 42 years. The times have been hard as I remember when I had to sterilise a glass syringe in a pan with boiling water and the needles were stainless steel and you didn't change them until they felt blunt Ouch!! The help I get now from diabetes nurses and doctors has come on leaps and bounds.however as I didn't get the help and support that you get now and the understanding from doctors and nurses as you have now. The problems I have now cannot be reversed but just monitored. I wish I could try to get through to younger diabetics and try and get them to understand WHY they need to follow the advise and not just brush it under the carpet as I did. I get so frustrated with myself now as I didn't listen and I now have the peripheraal vascular disease which I have had by pass operations twice in my legs which has still not worked and is just being monitored. Sorry for sounding off but I wanted to explain in great detail why it's important to listen and act. Jo [/QUOTE]
