[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1792252, member: 468714"] Do you accept positive contributions from down under? With 51 years on insulin there could be plenty of negatives to throw in BUT: I have fluked only a minor set of complications so far: cataracts, carpal tunnel syndromes L and R and some trigger fingers. I have had a better diet than most of my peers over the years, been more pro-active about my health than them, done some crazy-stupid things like going on 7 day canoe trips through wilderness and proved that planning ahead works, and as a doctor )now retired) I have been able (i think and hope) to understand what it is like for patients to be diabetic or unwell in some other condition and, perhaps because of my own experience, I have advocated more strongly for them than many of my past colleagues ever did. The above may all be a load of cobblers but it beats the alternative. [/QUOTE]
