Will reach the big 40 on Sept. 1st this year, have a few complications main one is lost my leg 6 years ago , sounds horrendous but could have been so much worse. To be honest was totally my fault , I was the one wh said diabetes will not change my life . I put that down to pig headedness along with being young and inexperienced. Luckily I was always fit and still am. It saved me . If I a really badly controlled ex drinker smoker can do 40 years anyone can . I am now a much more experienced older individual who takes his bloods etc etc , and feels confident that I will make 50 years of “ jabbing”
I never feel sorry for myself at losing my leg or for having diabetes, I just get on with it , it’s deffo not the end of the world, I am never bored even during the lockdown , I do more with one leg than some do with 4 . I retired when I lost my leg and I now don’t know how I had time to go to work..lol I just adapt which let’s face it is what life is all about.
Diabetes T1 is with you for life how you chose to live that life is up to you , I tried to unintentionally to throw mine away , not any more . Onwards and upwards ... shake a leg as they say lol hehehe
Stay safe and take care
