    About Me

    Diagnosed around 1992 with type 2 diabetes. Health is starting to deteriorate and trying to see what can be repaired and what I will have to live or die with. Very depressed at times. Not sure why I should be here given the quality of life that seems to be evolving. I work full-time as a supervisor in public health.

        Due to poor management I have developed diabetic neuropathy. I also have a c ondition that gives me a weak bowel. Imodium to control and even then it is Having potential kidney problems. Getting depressed. Seeing a specialist outside of my regular PCP next month to see if I can get some better advise. I want to know if I start exercise on a regular basis and eat better and better control of my numbers if I will live to see my grandaughter grow to an age where she can remember me.
