[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1621365, member: 32193"] Jibran taking your eye off diabetes is not the thing to do and running high is not good. I was classed as a brittle diabetic so it was hard to control from when i got it at 3 years old. I am going to tell you about whats happened to me, at 18 i need laser treatment on both eyes but this did not work and i had 5 ops on my eyes. This took me to the age of 21 and not long after my birthday i was told that by the time i was 30 that i would need a new kidney, during this times i had 5 ops on my hands and elbow as they thought i had carpel tunnel. At 30 my renal function stayed the same for 6 years but then dropped so i was put on a pancreas and kidney transplant list and the 6 months before mt transplant was spent in bed. I got my transplant in 2015 and all seemed fine but it was not as i spent the next 6 months in and out of hospital and as my sugar levels returned to a normal level the damage that the diabetes had done over the years came to light. I am in constant pain due to nerve damage all over my body it has also effected my bladder and bowel, i now have to use a catheter up to 4 times a day. I have been under the mental health team on and off for the last 23 years. My hands and feet go numb so i have to be careful around water as it takes a minute for my feet and hands to adjust. a long with this there have been time of been in hospital due to my diabetes and too many hypos to count. I am not telling you this to scare you as i was told did the best i could. I am now 41 years old dad and single parent of two children who are my only reason to keep fighting on. I do not want anyone to go through what i have gone through and what my children have seen happen to there dad. [/QUOTE]
