You cant change anyones else way of th...@Anonymous<br /><br />You cant change anyones else way of thinking until you change yourself. Why would anyone around you take it seriously if you dont. You need to start with you then the rest will understand more. No one other than another diabetic is EVER going to fully understand and honestly it shouldnt matter. The real question is why do you need others to understand in order for you to do better?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310765395863592182.post-36817779380288543172011-04-04T17:58:54.084-02:302011-04-04T17:58:54.084-02:30It has changed me in ways I do not like.

I suffer from extremely bad neuoparthy and out of control readings.<br />The worst part is my wife of 32 years attitude is do what you need, but I don't have diabetes, so I will do what I want. And it is always in front of me, making me eat everything that I shouldn't. And a mom is who border line and she does the same thing. If my morning reading is 297, she just say's that's not bad, at least it is below 300.<br />So I guess my question would be "How do you get the people around you to understand how bad this Disease really is and how it is KILLING me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310765395863592182.post-73580509643877786822011-04-03T21:06:25.312-02:302011-04-03T21:06:25.312-02:30Beautifully written and so true.
