honestly donteorry ehatsoever i am 17 years old have had it for a year and have exactly the same worries. i spoke to my doctor and he said medication was so good now that it would not be to bad but watch your vitamin D levels!!
i have one aswell is incredible and i think you would agrre definately suggest it to anyone who is thinking about getting one.
I also have had diabetes since I was 18 months old in 1950. I treat wounds quickly and exercise daily. Also eat lots of fruit (in moderation) but every day. I use cinnamon ( mixed with coffee ) every day and have no eye problems or medical issues. You could try massaging your arms and legs to improve circulation, know one person who was going to lose leg but used massage ( for hours a day ) and leg healed. good luck and wish you well.
Hi
I am 70 years of age and have had Type 1 for 60 years. I have had no sight, eye or limb problems and although my sugars can rise and fall (as with most diabetics) it is just a case of taking care of yourself, doing regular blood tests and if needed doing a small injection to compensate for any high results. I'm married, have had 2 children (both normal births) and 4 grandchildren, am reasonably active and am going to live hopefully for a very long time. Diabetes is a way of life and you have to be aware all the time of what you are eating, drinking or doing, that way you can live a long and happy life as I have done.
i was diagnosed at 35...so lots of years this disease went untreated and I could not get the numbers under control....mostly in the 20 to 39 area....ya and here in Canada the good range is 5 to 10...all drs said was we don't know why your not in a coma....no help no trying things....until I found out about the variety of insulins available....everyone was pushing lantus for my basil insulin...I finally went out on my own and tried levemier and once I found novolin nph everything clicked and numbers fell more inline...something about it being more closely fashioned to human insulin...I would say you know how things are working and don't let a dr pigeon hole you into one thing...it is such an individual disease and you should try different options to find the combination of basil and fast acting insulin that works for you
Hmph. You appear to be an ignorant, rebellious, and irrational who seems to emphasise on the fact that diabetes is HAAARRRRD!. I've had diabetes ever since i was 7 and i had to go through with it for almost my whole life. You can control what you do, so there is no excuse for having a high HBA1C or High Blood sugar levels. Power is not will, it is the phenomenon of physically making things happen.
