Living with

Never mind looking for all the quick cures !Just do what you are suppose
to do.Eat a balanced diet--test your blood sugars and take you
insulin.You all know what a balanced meal is ! No one is going to follow
you home to check on you!                 I have been on Insulin since I
was 24yrs old--with my 5th child . I am now 83yrs {YOUNG} !I have all
the problems of long term Diabetes!Never been "OBESE"--a little
overweight. I eat cake-ice cream- candy --occasionally--I never took
vitamins-wasted money !I had wine once in  while-and even had hard
alcohol-once in a while .Very seldom drink soda pop--almost never.Use
same meter as strips and lancets.
Be glad for what you have for treatment now !I had a glass syringe and
metal needle and had to steralize them each time I used them--also had
to urinate on a strip to get blood sugar level.It went by color-and it
could be anywhere in between!
So I say--be glad-there was a time when they had nothing for Diabetes!
Just LIVE with it !! Rita
