[QUOTE="jinty73, post: 1203073, member: 314485"] Hi Snapsy. Just wanted to say that i think your post is amazing, i couldn't have said it better myself. My husband is a huge support to me but he can get very pee'd off with me if he comes home and i'm sitting around with a very vague expression on my face, he has brought me back from the brink on too many occasions. I've been diabetic for 26 years, since i was 16, and although i manage it all fairly well it is most definitely a life sentence and some days i just pray for a cure. It will happen one day, i just know it will, and then we will all be free from this hideous illness. My friend Catriona has lost her sight through her diabetes, completely her own fault as she will admit herself as she would tamper with her insulin to lose weight when she was younger and then finally lost her sight due to her foolishness. She had a pancreas and kidney transplant several years ago and from the moment she woke from the operation she was no longer diabetic. She was on anti rejection drugs for some time, in fact i think she still might be, but she now no longer has to keep a check on her bloods or prick her fingers or do injections, its just very sad that the illness took her sight. I have found that exercise helps me a lot and also keeps me smiling so i'm finding ways to fight against diabetes. I now use the libre sensors so no longer have to prick my fingers several times a day(although its killing my bank balance!!!!)and i'm considering trying the reduced carbs diet to try and get my blood sugars under even more control. Thanks again for your fantastic post as its so good to know that i'm not the only one hating myself for stupid highs and lows and feeling bogged down by the constant diabetes stamp on my forehead.
