| It isn't as cut and dried as kidney-poops-out-get-new-one. If your girlfriend's blood sugars are so poorly controlled that she goes blind, has kidney failure or needs a foot amputation, then that will certainly not be her only problem. Uncontrolled blood sugars mean the complications just keep on coming unless you really start managing things more strictly. I think I recall you saying on another thread that your girlfriend's last A1c was 6.9 (?), which in my opinion is not good control, although many would argue with that. I say that because I started developing complications with an A1c in the low 6's. If she does start to develop complications, she can reverse them before they get to the extremes you're talking about, if she's willing to tighten her control. If she is willing, then you're wasting your time worrying about kidney transplants. |
