If, as you say, it takes a long time to do it adverse thing, I wasn't diagnosed with this until I was 78. When do you think it will hit me if I keep my A1C under 8? Thanks.
Going on 50 years of Diabetes. I wish I knew then (at the onset of Diabetes) what I know now. If I had, I might not be experiencing some of the “adverse things” I’m experiencing now. I maybe could have implemented some beneficial preventative strategies. I think knowledge is power and it can’t hurt to learn as much as you can about your ailments, then do the best you can to take care of yourself. I’m also a Christian believer. I try to pray as though everything depends on God while behaving as though everything depends on me.
