DANNY'S STORY

I just joined this group and wanted to say hi. I'm a type 1 diabetic juvenile diabetes almost 20 years of fighting sugar issues. Most of the issues we have type 1 & 2 have same problems with eating right and exercise. One thing I need to do myself take my own advise. I just recently got out of the hospital for the 5 times going into a diabetic coma sugar running @ 1140. My grandmother told me when I was diagnos with it , not to think it was the end of the world that it is a part of my life for now on and able to a happy life. But being hard head still today its hard I'm 36 years old and having people with similar issues to talk with might help me be on this earth a little longer and hope to help you all cope with some of the complication with diabetes.I have neuropathy issues bad knees to my toes. Very fortunately I have kept a close eye on my feet and had some problems with my toes. Best thing to do is some kind of walking and moving around to help your blood flow cause if not the pain is so painful and if you smoke like I do it blocks blood flow to your legs and feet. And one other thing skin issues with diabetes,if you keep your sugar regulated close to normal And taking vitamins to get some nutrition thats hard to get from food we dont suppose to have will help with these sores and bumps we get on our skin and helps heal cuts and scraps we get on a daily base fast. Thanks for letting me share and hopefully this will help one of you. I wish I'd listened to my doctor when I was 17. Yes I'm still up and walking around and don't look like I have any health problems but I try so hard not to show the pain and agony I'm in everyday. Father of 3 and my wife sometimes I feel like a burden so I keep it to myself a lot of times. This picture was from memorial day weekend. Again you don't want to be there and thanks again for listening.
