If you are in control like you - then there is no change needed. There are people who need to change as I did.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your father. But it sounds like our gene pool was not the best when it comes to this crazy disease.<br /><br />I think that is why my kids have become so active and have taken charge of their health early - they have the same genes.<br /><br />Hope the day is going well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200272313752804985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649687661826735295.post-73141956477598275422013-10-22T14:47:35.028-07:002013-10-22T14:47:35.028-07:00Hi Bob. It might sound strange, but I have never ...Hi Bob. It might sound strange, but I have never feared diabetes. Maybe it is because of being exposed to it so early in life with my father and his brothers. I did learn that they did not control their diabetes, but that was much later in life. The death of my father when he was only 54, and I was 13, was caused by that lack of control and management in regard to his diabetes. I saw uncles die after amputations of their feet and then on up the leg. Respect the disease, yes, but no fear. That is probably because my oldest sister showed me the way....she is 73 and I am 58. She set an example for me that shows while we cannot be cured, we can control this mystifying disease and go on to lead long healthy lives. <br /><br />MartyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
