[QUOTE="Ushthetaff, post: 2261720, member: 429002"] Well havent got the big 40 yet. Got to wait til 1st of Sept , had complications main one I guess is losing my right leg below the knee. I had no one to blame but myself , I never took my bs Hb 1ac always in the 90’ s smoked drank etc etc ,, but believe it or not was always very fit , doctor told me in hospital after I got scepsis that was the reason I survived . I lost my leg in 2014 and decided to “ screw the nut” . Now test bs regularly I walk fine I’m always busy my Hb 1 ac is 52 regularly . And my specialist says I’m in great shape , so if I can do it anyone can , diabetes is a complicated animal and deserves respect. It really does take u to try and ignore it completely before it bites u in the bum. Believe me I have that t shirt, try and have an element of control and you’ll be fine , I don’t worry about it anymore I respect it and control it as well as I can , diabetes is a totally individual thing but I’ve been terrible over the years and managed nearly 40 years so there is hope for everyone . Good luck and stay safe [/QUOTE]
