[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2563389, member: 487111"] I got tired of counting too. And weighing and worrying and stressing. I don't do all that regularly anymore. I'm fortunate in that my mother was a professional nutritionist/home economist and knew about carbs and proteins and fats. These days I try to just eat sensibly (I don't always succeed!). Four years since dx, I think, and I weigh around 20 pounds less than I did then, and while I'd like to lose more weight I try to be content with exercising regularly, trying to eat healthfully, and get enough sleep. I'm 70. I've never had a retinopathy exam, none of my doctors have suggested I have one; I'm not sure they're covered by US Medicare (government health plan for elders), and we have very few medical specialists where I live now anyway. My father had macular degeneration which worries me more than possible cataracts or diabetic retinopathy, although I'm not sure that's a sensible attitude on my part. I'd rather get rid of the arthritis or fibromyalgia or whatever it is that causes aches and pains, which my elderly cat gets too. But thank goodness she isn't diabetic! [/QUOTE]
