No, I blame everything on being chronilogically advanced.

Well, okay, I do blame some on diabetes.

I do believe that we have to be aware of our bodies and know what can be causing our diabetes more problems. I had a spot of retinopathy a couple years ago. Knowing it was there really made me work on being in control. It cleared up within a few months and has stayed away. When I am wanting to do something obviously not good for diabetes, I think of that. Being aware can give us the time we need to correct the situation.
