In honor of D-Blog day, a few thoughts on being diabetic.<\/p>\n
I’m most probably a Type 2. I was diagnosed when I was 42. Same birth year that my father was diagnosed. I’m rabid about taking care of the diabetes as best I can since he passed away at birth year 48 with congestive heart failure, probably due to diabetes complications.<\/p>\n
Here’s the good news. I’ll be 48 in December. So far, I’m doing well. Recently had a retinal map, no signs of complications. Still feel my feet and my hands are doing well. I’m still running dog agility so I’m doing infinity better than he was.<\/p>\n
I thank the technology. I started testing religiously as soon as I was diagnosed.<\/p>\n
Went to insulin very early. Within in a year when on an insulin pump. Am currently on CGMS. <\/p>\n
Still, I feel the clock ticking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
