Hi Ciaran and welcome. People share advice and concern to try and avoid awful things like losing sight or limbs. Of course we will all die of something but diabetes complicates life and if neglected can have the afore mentioned results. I guess it's a case of take reasonable care and then enjoy life. Hope you find the group helpful. Some people get negligible professional help so this group is a lifeline. Have a good day

Use Stevia
