[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 939054, member: 84857"] During the course of my work this week I came across someone whose life has been changed quite dramatically by their diabetes (Type 2) in recent weeks. ..less than a month ago all was relatively normal...in less than a month a small foot problem escalated to the point where they had to have their foot / leg amputated at the shin and is also now on dialysis three times a week due to the infection causing kidney damage...the rate of infection spreading was at a worrying pace to the extent that they may not be here today if it hadn't been caught when it had... ...on the face of it they seemed to be coping quite well with these life changing issues and I was impressed at how well they seemed to be dealing with it and the positive attitude they had about the future. On a personal level just think that this has really brought home to me how quickly things in life can change.....just really makes me think about how diabetes can make such dramatic changes to someone's life in what appears to be such a short space of time.
