[QUOTE="jopar, post: 206274, member: 11712"] Ray I worked in the care field for 15 years mainly dealing with the elderly, so have dealt with plenty of ampultee's, sight issues, ulcerations of lower limbs etc etc... Out of all the ampultee's none were T2 diabetics, only one was a T1 diabetic and I can assure you that the reason's behind losing her toes couldn't be blamed on advice given by HCP's or DUK as I know all were telling her should couldn't eat all the cholocate, biscuits etc she did! Ulcertions of lower limbs, again this is something that I really didn't find in the T2 patients... I've been frequently my diabetic clinic for over 20 years now, and can't remember seeing anybody who's lost limbs etc... I do know a diabetic who is my age, and in a bad way almost blind now, lost a toe and the last time I spoke to his wife, he was having a battery of tests on his kidney's, if you ask him who he blames for his blight, he will say I'm like this because I wouldn't listen to anything my hcp's have ever said to me! So the moral of the story, is that more people get into problems because they don't listen to what is being said to them.. because at the end of the day how to we learn what we need to enable us to take control, make decissions if we don't listen... I've listened to my HCP's then gone away, adapted what I've been told where necessary so it works for me... If I hadn't listened to my hcp's I actually won't know how to do this.. [/QUOTE]
