Being a diabetic forced to follow a strict diet and allowed a limited number of places to eat when out, tethered close to home by the need to return in time to take your insulin, all the other maladies that is follow diabetes or go hand in hand such as neuropathy, retinopathy (hemmorhaging of the blood vessels in the eyes), heart disease, high blood pressure, sexual dysfunction... I find diabetes type 2 to be quite crippling.

Eat right and stay active, I wish I had since this is a pain in the butt and the common denominator for a host of other maladies as well. When you're young you think your body is indestructible and you can abuse it but when I hit 40 it was time to pay the piper.

I'm a type 1 diabetic, and a listener. So I know the struggle, and why its good to have an area to share with others who understsnd. This is definitely a forum that is needed. Also, if any diabetics need to talk, my chat is always open.

If you need to, come talk to me. I'm a type 1, but diabetes, of all types, come with the same restrictions and fears.
