Diabetic folks

Old Tired Rebel said
Ink I have diabetes from chemo, all the poisons they put me through is what killed my pancreas. But I can say I would have gotten diabetes late in life like most of my family and would have listen better. I was 38 when I came down with it. I am on a cpap also because of weight gained,if her mask is leaking air it might be the wrong one so get her to try another.

I wish I had listen to my doctor 13 years ago I would be better off. From the chemo I got neuropthy,diabetes. From the diabetes my neuropthy has gotten worse and suppose to be in a power chair at all times,but I don't listen, my eye sight has gotten worse and I am suppose to be wearing tri focals I have yet to get them.

Tell your wife if I had changed my diet and exercise 13 years ago I would not be in this shape now. I have to depend my sons to help work on my car so a simple repair takes weeks because they work. I have all but given up on it except for one thing I still want to go back to work even though everyone in my family is against it. Going to the doc's tomorrow for that so I can get rehab to help me go back to work.

Tell your wife and have her to read this whole thread. If she doesn't do what it takes diabetes will destroy her health very quickly like it has mine because I didn't listen. I have been lucky enough to see my 3 grand daughters from my middle son but question if I will ever see my other 2 sons marry and have children. With what I am doing now will help prolong my life.

BTW did I say I love steak? One of my favorite meals is a ribeye steak and a small salad. I can get ribeye's here for 5.00 each so I try to get 2 a week.

Unfortunately she has tried every mask they have to offer, they all leak. When we first met she did not snore....at all.....She went to see the ENT that took care of septum problem....he took one look in her mouth and told us that if she were to lose some weight the apnea would disappear.
It kills me to see her just sit here, all day long. She stays busy with her sewing but if she is not sewing she is just sitting. Most nights it is the same thing, we have dinner, she does the dishes, finds her blanket and snuggles up in the lazy boy, slipping in and out of being awake. When I ask her when she is going to start exercising she gives me a bit of an attitude. Sad thing is she is getting very close to pushing me into a manic state with this.....it has become EXTREMELY stressful for me. I love the woman, and I don't want to see her end up in a terrible situation that could have been prevented.
My first girl friend and I still talk. Her Dad had diabetes. He slowly lost both of his legs due to it. And ultimately lost his life to it. He did absolutely nothing to help himself. Knowing this....and seeing what she is doing to herself.....is scaring the hell out of me....
