[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 328632, member: 47233"] Jopar ... that's a very inspiring and encouraging post. You seem to have things well under control and it's great to hear from people who've managed to do that. Please tell us what you [b][i]are doing right![/i][/b] I remember my uncle having diabetes and later on his daughter and we didn't know much about diabetes at all back then in the 60's. All I remember was he seemed to have a very sweet tooth and ate a lot of sugar and cake! He was type 2 but he seemed to think he needed to keep his sugar levels UP rather than down. He lived until a good old age, about 84 I think but his daughter wasn't so fortunate, she passed away around 72. Another friend of mine - his father was T2 and lived to be 94! When I was diagnosed last August the receptionist at my GP surgery told me "You can't cut your own toenails any more, you have to have them done by a chiropodist." I said "Whaaaaaaaaat? I've been cutting my own toenails for years, I'm not having anyone cut them for me." When I had my foot check I asked the Podiatrist and he said that was a load of cobblers, of course I could cut them myself, just had to be careful. [/QUOTE]
