I had a friend with Diabetes, I'm don't know what type it was.
He had to take a blood test several times a day, and inject insulin. Unfortunately, he refused to stop doing things he wasn't supposed to do, and his health, and eyesight continued deteriorating. They started to have to cut parts of his feet off, and he was experiencing bleeding from various parts of his body, including inside his eyes and in his brain. I was a pallbearer at his funeral, he passed away at 47, the same age I am now.
Goober, please live right, follow what your doctors say.
I agree with the other guys you're an indispensable part of this forum, and I don't want another favorite poster go the way of others on the memorial threads.
