Who's a diabetic??

Just came in from talking to my neighbor who has been a diabetic for 41 yrs!

He has good insurance and can afford the pump. I on the other hand would much rather spend my money on something I can sell, touch, sit on, etc.. lol

I learn something every time I talk to him. They (doctors) are saying now that diabetes is not necessarily inherited. Something of the nature if you have had a bad virus with in the last four yrs that it can bring on diabetes. I had a virus about three yrs before I got diagnosed. I don't know ??

Ive made up my mind that checking my sugar three times a day is not working. So I am going to start checking it more often.
