Good stuff, Mick.
Funny thing is I am one of the older ones, DX'd at 49. I have much better control than most, last A1c 5.2, BUT, I have gained weight since Dx'd and the PCP and Diabetic health group tell me I'm doing very well.
5' 10 3/4", 200 lbs.
I've just got to believe that there are people who are working harder than I am whose body's just Will Not cooperate with them and what they are trying to do.
I know that when I had my heart attack, at 42, I was even "healthier" than I am now. My **** body just wouldn't go along with me.
Each person is different. Each person has different fears, strengths, weaknesses, abilities etc. ad nauseum. Each of us is different and must accept each other for what we are. Can any of us do better? Of course, all of us can. Should I be the judge for you and you be the judge for me? PfFThTh--I don't think so.
A Famous Dude once said something like:
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I suspect that was meant to apply not only to people who cheat on their spouses, the case being dealt with at the time, but should be applied to everything in the Human Life.
