Ray Gravell documentary. Living with diabetes

I hope you don't mind. Your link didn't work but this one does for me. I will watch it when I can.

We have to do the best we can by managing our diabetes. There are no guarantees that we will not succumb to complications but I think the risks are lower if we look after ourselves. It does bring it home to you, if a celebrity is involved, that this condition is not something that you mess with. It can bite anyone at any time.

Use the forum to your advantage and ask as many questions as you need to, nothing considered silly. Have you read the introductory post for newbies? There might be something there that is of use to you. We are all here to support each other and hopefully avert complications.

Try not to dwell on it and hope you find some comfort in the fact that it is not a forgone conclusion that everyone with diabetes will become ill. Fit people die every day for a variety of reasons.

Take care,
