I have been dealing with my blindness It was hard to swallow going blind but,I overcame it. just as that battle ended .I found out that I am diabetic...Im getting tired of the battles
I am sorry that you have discovered your diabetic but now that you know you can learn to take care of yourself. Some people go without being diagnosed and run into serious problems.
I am sorry that you have so many battles to fight. I can understand how hard that is, and how it can feel never ending! Do you know if the blindness was caused by the diabetes? My dad had it and he had started to go blind, so I was just wondering if they were related. You seem to be a very strong person, you overcame the hardness of your blindness, I am sure you can find that strength to deal with the diabetes. It is something that you need to controll and keep an eye on but there is no reason why you can't live a ful happy life with it. Good Luck, Stay Strong....Take Care!!
Hello Roger, I know someone who is a artist with wood, he is going through going blind as well. His art work is fabulous, though he understand this craft he loves will have to come to a end, someday. Not sure how you and him do it!! Broken bones, pain on and on I can deal with and have, but my eye site.... I felt sorry for myself when I needed glasses, until I ran into the wood crafter, my glasses did not seam like such a big deal after that. Just make every day, hour, minute, and second count I guess? Being disabled is no fun, but it is what it is. Wish you well k, the weak do not have such issues, it is only the strong.
Roger I would have asked the same question about the vision loss and diabetes. Diabetes you can live with and manage, and others will be willing go help you.
I understand your new battle, I am fighting it also. I can tell you it can be managed through diet and meds, I can also tell you I don't manage mine very well. If I can help you deal with this new challage in anyway please let me know. There is a book called the Diabetic Bible, and it offers a lot of information that will make your life easier.
