I think it's part of a general decline in his health now that he is in his 70s, but it still makes me sad. <BR/><BR/>In the 1950s and '60s, he was a professional wrestler and traveled the world. When I think of him, I always see him as a strong, tall man who could swing me up in the air. <BR/><BR/>Now, he's lost so much weight and his memory is going. He's having a hard time dealing with the diabetes because he's not dealing with any of his health issues (heart problems, memory problems, etc.) well. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for doing the diabetes walk.

We have had some rough spots, mostly when he was in his teens, but now he is doing very well and being very responsible. I am grateful for all you people out there who are fighting for a cure, though unfortunately I think we have to realize that that will not happen in our lifetime, but it will benefit the future. Of course I worry about his future, will he get complications with the side-effects, will he have social difficulties because of this.. etc. In the meantime I´m happy for the time we´re having where everything is going well.<BR/>best wishes from Iceland<BR/>FridaFríðahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210579110140932798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23233587.post-1149452881069290812006-06-04T16:28:00.000-04:002006-06-04T16:28:00.000-04:00My mother and her dad had diabetes, as does her br...My mother and her dad had diabetes, as does her brother, but recently my husband has been diagnosed with it, which I was not expecting.

She was quite the partier in her younger days and simply refused to give up drinking when she was diagnosed. She said she would allow herself one drink -- actually two half-strength drinks -- a day. Sooo, every time she came to visit, my parents had to make sure they had a jug of Cutty Sark on hand (I can totally picture the green bottle & yellow label). They didn't drink the stuff themselves, so one jug would last several years (Nana only came to visit every other year). I also remember her sugar-free tin roof sundae ice cream and the sugar-free Lorna Doone cookies my mom would buy when Nana was coming to visit, but mostly I remember the Cutty Sark. Amazingly, my mom and her sisters don't have diabetes, and neither does anyone in my generation, though I was borderline with gestational diabetes.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889557512574235204noreply@blogger.com
