| Didi,
That nurse isn't right, there have been people that have been on medications for over 20 years, before starting insuline.
But also there have been some people on denial & that don't take care of their condition, those people get complications early on.
Get a glucose meter & test several times a day, BG's over 140 cause damage to the nerves.
To stay within the normal BG's you may need supplements, meds, or a good diet & exercise.
See you,
