I was wondering how things have shaped up for you since these dual diagnosis? Also, you seem to have discounted the retinopathy and I am sure by know you have a more rounded education surrounding the diagnosis. Nevertheless I do hope you might take a look at some of the numbers offered here regarding retinopathy <br />http://www.dailyrx.com/news-article/retinopathy-not-just-diabetics-12095.html<br />as it pertains to diabetics as the numbers are alarming in terms of actual damage recorded in the study.

I've also been in a funk over the grind of type 1 and especially its complications, and am wondering if there's additional stress that comes from life in this bad economy and the pressures almost everyone is feeling. Complications like gastroparesis don't help.<br /><br />There's a lot of isolation that goes with diabetes, especially type 1. We live with it every day and there aren't many folks nearby who can share the experience. (And why would we want them to, except to make us feel better?)<br /><br />Hope you know there are folks like tippytoes, me, and others who have shared some of these issues, know about you, and are wishing the best for you.Jeff Nobleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824760244037264003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10302840.post-58636453046115156142010-11-06T21:07:02.846-07:002010-11-06T21:07:02.846-07:00Hey, Violet! How wonderful to see you back posting...Hey, Violet! How wonderful to see you back posting! i've checked here fairly regularly and finally just figured that you were sailing merrily along and all was well. Well, it's still well, right? Anyway. i'm so glad to have checked back again and to have found you writing here.<br /><br />Okay, so, the two things that have come up for you: first, the retinopathy. Seriously? i know it sounds and seems scary, but if you have a good eye specialist who's keeping track of you, and it sounds like you do, and thank heavens for that, then it doesn't have to be anything that you have to get all freaked about. My retinopathy was diagnosed in 1978, i had laser surgery on both retinas in 1980, and my eyes (amazingly) have been stable ever since. As in, every year when i see my ophthalmologist, the word is: "stable." So, don't fret that one.<br /><br />As for the gastroparesis, that can be a bit tricky. i'll share a story about my own experiences with that sometime if you'd like. But again: you're smart, you ask the questions, you've got good docs that you like, right? So much on your side. i mean that very seriously, without getting all Pollyanna on ya. Courage! <br /><br />Meanwhile,<br />love,<br />tippytoesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10302840.post-35686157170764396292010-10-19T17:22:25.203-07:002010-10-19T17:22:25.203-07:00I think there is a lot to be said about the value ...I think there is a lot to be said about the value of putting words to our thoughts and feelings about things we experience living with diabetes.<br /><br />I'm quite happy to see a fresh post from you, as I can fondly remember when you started. :-)<br /><br />I hope that all is well with you, and would be happy to offer any help that I can as you explore this new territory.Scott K.

Mostly because I'm a horrible overestimater of things and tend to be terribly wrong. <BR/><BR/>I hope you take care of yourself and that you keep doing well.<BR/><BR/>I live in NJ, btw, about 40 minutes from NYC. If you are interested, would you like to have lunch sometime? We don't even have to talk about diabetes.
