Whoops I meant to tell you that infections are multiple with me too but thanks to my Dr I don't get many antibiottocs (OK spelling again) I'm allerigic to penicillan so it's sulfer dugs for me! As for my lazer surgery I just had a rupsured retina they got to it before my eye started bleeding and all. It might be worth looking into now I don't know what will happen but it may help out!

Yes I know those feelings. I hate not knowing when or where the next attack is going to hit even with all the bs meters (counted yearterday I've got 8 of them) I still don't know and I have lost all feelings of lows now so that plays a part too! I've had Type 1 for 35 years and sometimes well......... It happens and I love it when even my daughter who is a Typ1 1 9 years says you shouldn't let it get that low! She gets me here I thought she would be the one above all to understand me but she still has that warning system that I don't and I almost always get atleast 8 visits to the ER for seizers brought on by lows! I hate to hear about your feet. I haven't had that problem yet almost all the other's well yes but not that yey! I hope the Drs will start lesing now! I know the feling of knowing something's wrong with youbut the Dr not beliving you till it's almost too late! Drives you crazy right?

No you weren't bad in a past life (though I've belived that for awhile now) God never fills your plate with more than you can handel though he does overload it everyonce in awhile!!!! HA!! What would we do with out old sayings? I know they've helped me out a few times! HA!!!!

HA! I wasn't around for the goodlooks either that's why I use my oldest granddaughter right now! When my daughter figures out how to get her pic off her camera I'll put up both granddaughters one 21 months old and as of the 21st of July another 3 months old!

Yes Depression is great at times. This passed 2 weeks all you have to do is look at my posts! Diabetes can attack from all sides. Infections have been a fact of life for me since 10. ( I'm 45 now) Reinopathy I've had eye surgery for it really helped me so grit your teeth and bare it and you can more than make it!
