Hi I have been a type 1 diabetic for 30 years now. I cannot believe how long I have had it and how time flies.
I have lots of hobbies and interests but I do not work because I have other illnesses and everything together makes me too poorly to work. I do have some diabetic complications such as diabetic neuropathy and advanced diabetic retinopathy in both eyes. I am brittle diabetic which means I have very wild fluctuations of blood sugars. I have reduced awareness of Hypoglaecemia and so I test a lot and hope for the best. Correcting when necessary.
I love anime and I love art. I really like to read and love going on the computer and searching the net. I call it floating around,lol. This is because I look up one subject and go to others randomnly and sometimes end up in a totally different place to where I started. Because I am limited in my mobility now I love to have these cyber adventures. Visitng all different countries and cultures and studying to make my brain keep active and stimulated.
I love a good drama series and watch the occasional soap on TV.. I currently watch Eastenders but also like Home and Away. I watch Eastenders lateish on catch up tv so I can just unwind before sleeping.
I like animals very much. I even like them better than people. But I do try to keep in touch with a few people or people via the net. Just because I do not want to become a total recluse who is a lover of cats and primates but an avoider of a lot of humans. My other love in the animal world is squirrels. .
