[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 871560, member: 66676"] Thank you for your candour [USER=88583]@kevinfitzgerald[/USER] - very much appreciated and admired. I make no apologies for levelling the accusation or the manner in which I did; I know that you were not advising anyone to follow your example, but in context of the conversations in this thread I read it as being boastful, lackadaisical and having the potential to misguide some who are in a vulnerable state and looking for another way. I appreciate that was/is not your intent - but such is the nature of the English language that each of us can read into what is said in an entirely different manner from that which it was written - hence my provocation. I think we all know how difficult and complex this condition can be - and especially so when life goes awry and impacts upon our ability to manage it effectively; but we also run a fine line between controlling it and letting it control us, including frequency of testing, etc., etc. (I was often told I was over-testing,when in reality I was over-reacting to each result.) I quite agree with you and [USER=91524]@Totto[/USER]: you are lucky - both to have survived the incidents and to have done relatively unscathed in terms of your diabetes and complications, but also to live in a country (the UK) where treatment for diabetes and alcoholism is treated free at the point of delivery (despite the flaws in the NHS). I'm truly sorry to read about the addiction and the GAD and you have my sincerest respect in fighting them as well as having T1 that can't have been / be easy. With very best wishes. C. [/QUOTE]
