I'm so happy you have the knowledge now on how to take care of yourself. As sweet as my friend was, he was still a hardhead when it came to what he ate. So for 12 or so years he ate what he wanted and eventually took a toll on his kidneys. So not being diagnosed as in your case was almost the same as not caring in his case. Like I said i'm so happy you know now! As you know you have extended your life with caring on what you eat. This is a very yucky disease! I'm doing the annual "D" walk in Seattle in a couple of weeks, so now I have two "friends" to walk for. xoxox Peter

Peter,
Walk for me, too, please, as I am not able.
Thanks.

You bet Swampyankee, I left a message to Jlipps that the walk/run is the 3rd week of May not April. Just a quick update on my situation. My partner of 20 yrs died from Diabetes, so second hand I know the anguish this disease can cause. Hope the weather was nice today in Conn.

I cannot even begin to try to know what it feels like to have happen to you what everyone fears most with a loved one...

All i can say is you had 20 years to have and grow with, 20 years of someone who loved you. Most cant even try to say that. Im sure the memories you shared and lives you lived in those 20 years was more than people live their whole life.

Im not saying count yourself lucky, but i hope that one day i get to say that i was with someone for 20 years. Obviously you are very strong from it and lucky to know what life is all about. it must be hard to share something like that.. i really feel awkward for replying to it even though it wasnt directed towards me, but i felt like i had to say something along the lines that i envy the memories you have.
