[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 260317, member: 28827"] Diva... First of all you need to start looking forwards and not backwards... none of us can change the stupid things that we done when we were younger... if I could talk to 17 - 22 year old me he would get the talking to of his life! but I can't... looking back does nothing to help you all it does is depress.. as you mull over the 'what if' The news is not all bleak however and although the damage may be done that doesn't mean that it can't be undone or at-least not made any worse. There are plenty of people with experience on here of having complications that have at worse stopped getting worse and at best improved when they have achieved good control.. If you can get yourself good continues control then you give your body a fighting chance of doing something about the damage. I would suggest that you put together a plan of actions... start by making a list of long term aims / goals that you want to achieve... these may be diabetes related or they may just be things that will improve your life (diabetes is linked to lots of things in your life and the stresses and strains of life will effect your control)... Then start to make small changes to your life to achieve these... I set out nearly 4 years ago with 4 goals.. 1. Maintain HbA1c below 6% 2. Stop Smoking 3. Reduce Stress / Anxiety 4. Lose Weight - 25KG Now I haven;t yet achieved them all... 3 / 4 are still being worked on but I will continue to adjust and make adjustments and I am making progress.. Making goals / aims gives you a purpose in the long run.. it also means you can make targets in the short-term... My partner and my 14 month old are my inspiration not to slip.. Find your own inspiration and it can be done.. [/QUOTE]
