@ kocall
I am diabetic too and most of the times i got scared of after effects of diabetes.
No doubt its a very harsh reality.
I am feelin sorry for you and your partner.
May God give you strength
You guys will always be in my prayers.
Take care
 
Thank you for sharing your story. It is a sobering post for all who despair of diabetes and feel like giving up. My thoughts are with you both.

I hate taking my insulin and have been tempted to stop to loose some weight. But I don't because I know how dangerous DKA is and I can't risk it as I have two babies.

My mother has badly controlled type 2 diabetes and has neuropathy in her feet as a result. Seeing her struggle with this also keeps me taking my insulin so I don't end up the same.

Hello Kocall,that is such a harrowing story, I do feel for you both. You have been so brave posting your wifes story, I was 31 when diagnosed, 24 years ago, many ups and downs, but always and still do, take my insulin and test my BS.

To you both,please accept my heartfelt wishes.

Im sorry to hear that. I was diagnosed a month ago and I'm 14. I have poor control over my blood sugar levels and am very athletic. Because of the poor control i have sever nerve damage in y ears and have lost the majority of my hearing.

14 your'e still young love and the point im making is diabetes is a nasty horrible disease and unfortunatly you dont see the harm it does so it is so easy to ignore but trust me dont fall into this trap which is simply avoided by keeping control of your diabetes "Dont Let It Controlle YOU " x
