And, then again...

So, here is a comment,

Will he be alive in 10 years? Probably - because they just keep pumping more drugs into him.


and

...in a man who has had diabetes for 33 years and is over age 55. He is way past exercise...and a few other things. I do believe he could stop the progression....but he's simply not willing to do anything towards that end. At best, he will take the pills his doctors prescribe. He eats everything and anything that he wants - including eating out at least once every day, sometimes all 3 meals. He will not exercise and most days he won't even walk to the mailbox.


That is really scary! The good news with Tom is that he eats well and exercises. The bad news is that he is always going low and drives like a maniac. Those two things together leads me to believe that he is going to die of a hypo-induced car accident, probably with me in the car.
But then again, I think about the former post that considered the idea that when they have so many lows, maybe they are also having many highs. The highs may just not be so visible.

Another time, I want to talk about the anger.
