[QUOTE="JohnRJ, post: 48357, member: 14012"] Hi handadr First and foremost my wife as been a Diabetic for 44years. As soon as blood reading monitors were available we bought one in those days it cost us well over £40. Yes my wife check's her blood about 8 times a day so is on top of any low or high reading's. But that did not stop her losing her leg or poor eye sight and numerous other medical complications. As for the fat not being her enemy it is because only 4 month's ago my wife had a near to major heart attack due to blocked arteries and suffers from peripheral heart disease so fat is a contributing factor. I am not contradicting what you say but i know my wife very well and what she does to help herself and as been congratulate by many a consultant for the care she takes of herself but as i said before it depends on your body make up how your body reacts towards diabetes in some cases you can do every thing right and diabetes can still defy you and damage parts of your body my wife was a very fit person before she became a diabetic and as been after being diagnosed and brought 4 children so she as not done bad. And still continues to do her best by looking after her self the best she can with my help. And a reading of 5-6.7 is still pretty good after 44 years of having diabetes well our consultant said it's pretty remarkable after 44 years. Thanks for your replies and please don't think i am being funny but i think my wife all that she as been through is a remarkable person. Kind regards John [/QUOTE]
