[QUOTE="angua, post: 298119, member: 46226"] I'm with you ac - my first post here was along the same lines .. its gutting to have the feeling that 'if only you'd' ….. I feel also that in some respects southern general is right - doctors just don't seem to tell us enough about our conditions let alone be forthright about possible outcomes - they more often than not only deal with the result, rarely prevention in a sense thats personal to you. You mention that it took a year to get on the dafne course - I think that time frame would indicate a lack of medical urgency and prompt most people to give up until the course starts. For all the people "who've only been recently diagnosed who are taking it so seriously" there are an equal number of us who struggle, with habit, with unconscious behaviours and with not ever being perfect. "I just feel like yeah I tried to cheat it and now I'm paying for it" & "just to avoid having to confront reality" yep, you, me and a millions others, because we're human, we make mistakes, sometimes we’re weak, sometimes we can be strong – there will always be some people who will get away with it, most of us won't but it doesn’t stop the hope drive which deceives us all from time to time All you can do is plug away at what you know you need to do – No-one I ever heard of woke up and started their day off with “ okay how many terrible choices can I make today to screw my life up in the future Thanks for the honesty of your post and good luck with your eyes Gilly x [/QUOTE]
