My father is 77 years old and has been dealing with diabetes for almost 15 years now. He really is doing a fine job, he takes insulin by himself (shots) and for now, he is feeling fine. Still, I would like to know – could diabetics in good control suffer other diabetes ailments?

I think that we both know how serious this illness really is. And even though your father takes care of himself, there are possibilities for him to develop some of the bad side effects. And extremities might be affected too. Let’s just say that he should monitor his blood sugar level constantly.
