Probably me, I already talk to myself so posting to myself won’t be much different.

You might be older than me, but your health is probably better than mine. As you know I have DKA, and I can feel its effects daily. I’m constantly fatigued, weak and have neuropathy in my hands and feet. Everything in my life is affected by it, including playing video games. I unfortunately don’t think that I’m going to reach a ripe old age.
Are you type 2 phase? (I know DKA is more common in type 1.) I ask because I know people who've reversed their diabetes with a *very* low carb diet. Not many people want to do it - to be so strict & consistent, but there's a path to healing that condition without meds if you've got the fire to do it.

Yeah, I’m type 2. I’ve cut out sugar from my diet almost completely, and I limit my carb intake. I also stopped insulin injections, and meds. I was not doing well on that stuff, I’ve been doing better without it. Diet is the most important thing when it comes to type 2 diabetes. I admit that I could still do a little better in terms of what I eat, but I’ve cut out sugar and carbs significantly.

That sucks. I'm healthy in that I don't have any major ailments at the moment, but we don't live long in my family. My dad was two years older than I am now when he had a stroke that left him paralyzed. I'm already using house money.

Perhaps you’ll be an exception. Sorry about your dad, I worry about my mom having a stroke because her mom had one around my mom’s age.
