dribbler 6 Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Hey Eduardo, sorry to hear that, good luck. My Uncle has been diabetic for most of his life. He has had to make compromises but he's convinced he's healthier than he would have been if he wasn't diabetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Really sorry to hear that, Eduardo, but I'm sure you'll be ok. Like Steve, I had a diabetic relative (my gran) who simply saw the condition as a different way of living. And she lived a looooong life. And a happy one. Chin up, as people think we say.

Jean Todt 4 Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Eduardo, why the hell are you worried? many of the Indians (as long as they are in India itself ) are prone to Diabetes, and I have so many relatives who have it, actually, they don't suffer at all, they just have to make some compromises on their rich food lifestyle. I am sure you won't die because of it, as MG said, you can live long, if lucky longer, don't worry, you can be the mod for another hundred years. Cheer up, I have been in worse situation luckly I have been cured, boy I don't want to talk about it . Take care, enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kopite Girl 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2008 Aw bless you ecap. But you're still a great person and even better you are a true Alonso fan! My niece suffers with diabetes but she still has a fulfilling life - she's 19 and just about to go on a road trip to America with her friends and my man's grandmother suffers with it too but she's 77 next year and still eats a cake or two. Of course your life will change a little to enable you to deal with your illness but at the same time you are still you. The same people still love you and that will never change.

pumpdoc 2 Report post Posted November 15, 2008 I'm a type 2 Eduardo, it's not much of a bother to change a few bad habits and get your blood sugar levels down, I went from high 180's to now just over 90-100 and have lost 15lbs in the process. Good luck mi amigo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 what a pair of sweet moderators you have ahhh? Probably everyone should cut down on sugar so you might end up being healthier as a result of all this, although I imagine it will be a pest at first. All the very best, Eduardo.

I hope you are ok, Eduardo and would venture a guess that it won't be too long before your present diet seems as natural as you're previous regime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
