Hi
My name is John.
It's my wife that is diabetic and as been for 44 years we have lost children because of it (ie) one soon after the baby was born my wife was in a diabetic coma the funeral had taken place before my wife came out of the coma.
So we have experienced some of the pit fall's of diabetes.
My wife as also suffered amputations first below the knee then above the knee same leg as had laser treatment for her eyes and recently a heart attack we have 4 grown up children and 10 grandchildren.
And as most of you know you can look after yourself and still get these complications as my wife as never smoked or been a drinker and always watched what we have eaten.
The diabetes came out soon after we got married which was in our teens and we are still together 47 years later so we have spent all our married life dealing with diabetes.
Hope to learn more from this site i have studied diabetes and it as helped me understand what my wife and other diabetic's have to put up with.
Kind regards John
