good morning everyone im new to the site.
i was diagnosed with diabetes in april this year, i have a really strong family history of diabetes, my mother, brother and grandmother were all insulin dependant, unfortunately my grandmother and mother died of complications of diabetes, my mother only being 61 when she died.
my brother has also lost both legs to diabetes complications, but is slowly recovering.
i have 2 children and been told by my doctor that there is more than a 50 percent chance that they will develop it in later life. im now 51 yrs old and have escaped developing until this year, i just hope that i can continue as i am for many years to come. my aunt that bought me up is also insulin dependant and she is now 81yrs old well done mum and still going strong even though shes lost site in one eye and also losing the site in her other eye, but very rarely moans.
i hope everyone reading this is well and good luck to everyone in the future.
