[QUOTE="simonhand, post: 821209, member: 58444"] I know exactly what you mean rvp50mufc. I have thought of injecting viles of insulin. I have read up on it and it doesn't seem to be successful in that you can end up in a vegetative state, which could be worse. The only thing which has stopped me are my 2 daughters who need me. I've lived through diabetes all my life. My dad was type one all his life and died of a massive heart attack which was diabetic related. I've been diabetic since I was 21 and now 44 I've had enough. My wife left me 15 months ago and one of the reasons was due to my diabetes plus other things which are connected with diabetes plus she had an affair. My parents aren't alive so I have no one to talk to. I am physically in good shape and train hard 3 times a week, and I have a successful business, but the uphill battle day in day out just gets to you. I know I would have ended things if my daughters weren't living with me. I'd love a relationship with someone but as everyone who is diabetic know that it's a big ask for someone to take on a type 1 diabetic. I have a few problems with my eyes and a little tingling in my feet. I really do feel that if and when I want to end things I should be able to in a dignified way. I know that people on here would be disgusted with my comments, but I'd like to think that other diabetics understand, rather than health professionals that I feel don't help when you want to discuss this. As and when I get my drivers licence taken away from me due to my eyes I can't work and therefore cant look after my daughters. At that point, I feel there is no point. I am a responsible, sound of mind adult and if I choose to end things, due to my quality of life deteriorating due to diabetes. There should be things in place that allow you to, rather than having to go to another European country. [/QUOTE]
