As I've said before it took 36 + years to develope a complication. I do not consider myself sick even now. I have diabetes not the other way round.
I think half the thing is some people want to be debilitated so they let the sugar levels go and they develope problems. Keep it under control and you can live as normal as you want to. Besides why be normal?
In case you have not read in one of my other post I am in the 2% of diabetics who have neuropathy not in the hands or feet. I have it in the cardiovascular nerves. That's ok I plan to live about another 18 years.
