I’ve lived longer that my father ever got to.

@bijouxbroussard your statement is confusion, but if there is a good chance is it because you have a fatal disease. I hope thst isn't the case.

@samueltyler2 Diabetics in my family have a shorter lifespan. I’m managing it, but as you know it’s progressive.

I corrected the wording.

@bijouxbroussard the management of diabetes today is so much better than in years past, that statistically. It does not have a major effect on longevity.

@samueltyler2 We’ll see. I’d rather go cleanly than bit by bit, losing eyesight or body parts.

@bijouxbroussard Growing up I watched my Aunts and other women in my family go that way. The word "gangrene" was spoken daily. They only has insulin to control diabetes and not much information so, they ate bad foods. At least we have knowledge and more meds than insulin. You're aware of all that I'm sure. I really don't think you'll go that way. You'd have to be spiking like crazy all day every day.

@fernie2 Perhaps not. I’m doing my best not to go out that way, eating carefully, taking my meds and seeing the doctor regularly.
