I live in New Hampshire, still work full time as a hr coordinator (payroll) /ap specialist. I have been married 47 years. Hubby has severe heart disease and just went thru his second open heart. We have 4 furbabies.
I have had diabetes type 2 for 21 years. When I was officially diagnosed my blood glucose reading was almost 1000 (yep not an error lol) I was going blind all within week, stress from hubby and his issues caused my diabetes to go totally out of wack. I was put on metformin, still on it and eye sight came back. Luckily I did not suffer any permanent damage...no heart, no damage in eyes nor kidney problems. I do have some neuropathy in me feet, had secondary cataracts from diabetes removed. I was very lucky in that respect, my doctor calls me his funky diabetic since my body does not react as others and even with meds we have to watch

. Luckily I did not suffer any permanent damage...no heart, no damage in eyes nor ki Can you see me here? I'm turning green with envy. You: 20+ years with a GL at 1000 once, and now you are added to my collection of examples to prove that so far no two diabetics have the same story. I am honestly glad to read your "success" at being only minimally affected. I will give you some time to read my own experiences in just over five years of diagnosed time. Spoiler Alert: I haven't had quite the luck you have had.

I have always been a moderate type person, diabetes runs in our family and even though I ate correctly very active in was destined to get to get it
Hubby is from new England and he always wanted to come back home and things worked out for us to move up here, I was born and raised in the wasington dc/Virginia area
