I posted this not long ago but after seeing some of the comments & posts lately, I think it needs repeating...
You're a diabetic right?? You eat whatever you want? You don't take your medicine? You want to go out drinking & partying? Go for it! Just remember... I did that too. I didn't take the best care of myself years ago. I did whatever I wanted & let my blood sugar do as it wanted. And guess what happened... I'm now blind in 1 eye, & legally blind in the other, thanks to ...diabetic retinopathy. I have neuropathy in my leg that stops my walking @ times. Neuropathy in my arms & hands. My kidneys failed, I went on dialysis, & ended up having a transplant. And all because I was too stubborn to make the effort to take better care of myself. Look @ the posts on here sometime of people having to have amputations of limbs, toes, etc. Do you want that too?? I wish I'd had this group when I was younger! It would've scared the hell out of me & made me think twice before making some of the choices I made! Diabetes is nothing to ignore! It can kill! I get so upset seeing people do as I did & I want to help you not do it so you won't be in the shape I'm in now. I know this is harsh but I hope it makes some of y'all think twice about your health!! Much love to you all!
