[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2276298, member: 401801"] Oh, I know what diabetes can do, and please, don't apologise! I had some complications but reversed those, I had it easy and didn't know it! My uncle lost both his legs above the knee; necrosis kept getting him, losing more bits of leg as he went. One day you're missing a foot, a month later yer shin's gone. Knee? Poof! Bye legs, hello phantom pains and a special lift to get in and out of bed. A friend's mom's heart muscle tore, after spending years on the couch because the neuropathy made walking impossible. She was in pain, always. My gran... I could go on for a while, basically. All in all, T2 can get really, really ugly. That's what I thought I was looking at. Complications, painful ones, deadly ones. Turned out there's hope out there after all. Or rather, in here, this place, among others like dietdoctor.com and the like. And while your sister's in a bad spot herself (I am so very sorry to hear it! Hope she'll get better soon!), you are embarking on this in a way that may help her eventually too. In any case, it wasn't a "I was way worse, your rock bottom means nothing", it's a "It can get pretty bad, yeah, but it's not hopeless and you're not doomed" kind of idea. ;) And another thing: keto mug bread. Google it. :) [/QUOTE]
