[quote=Anonymous]As the daughter of a lifelong type 1 diabetic who did not give a shit, good luck. My dad took his insulin but didn't test often enough "because it hurt" and now: has totaled two cars during low blood sugar episodes and had his license revoked, had major retinopathy and can only read with a magnifying glass, and had a kidney and pancreas transplant 18 months ago. Well, he didn't do what needed to do with that and now both his kidneys, including the transplanted one, are gone. He'll be on dialysis for the rest of his life. He has no energy and does not have any quality of life. The stress on my mom is unbelievable. It's horrible to see this happen to a parent. I wish things could change but if they're not willing, you can't change it for them.[/quote]
