Type1 for 30 Plus Years
For those who've had Type 1 diabetes for a long time. I don't really care how long. Just long.
Eric replied to Spock's discussion 'Diabetes is kicking my ***!!'"Yeah, I wasn't trying to be a smart***...just had a pretty bad time with it. For some reason (tighter control, I'm guessing) the gastroparesis subsided after a few years. Best wishes to you... Eric"
Eric replied to Spock's discussion 'Diabetes is kicking my ***!!'""Refuse" to submit to Gastroparesis? I had a real hard time "refusing" after vomiting for a week straight."

Eric replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"When your Glucose control is not tight it WILL aggrivate your moods! I've experienced this firsthand myself and I've been type 1 for 32 years. Trust me on this. Eric"
Eric replied to Annette's discussion 'Type 1 Diabetic, Non-Compliant and Frustrated......'"One more thing Annette... This is NOT to say what you are feeling is not legitimate...it most certainly is. Just also remember...and I've experienced this to the fullest myself...when your Glucose is elevated, your body will go into a…"
Eric commented on Garrett's blog post 'Cost of managing Diabetes in America'"I couldn't agree more with this....until the profit motive is removed from healthcare, there is ALWAYS going to be a group that suffers...aka sick people. Let's face it....health insurance companies LOSE money on sick individuals, so if…"
Eric replied to Annette's discussion 'Type 1 Diabetic, Non-Compliant and Frustrated......'"Aaaahhhh, I miss going to the beach! I used to live in Florida also, and went to Cocoa almost every weekend. I'm an artist as well...I was a scenic Lead at Czarnowski for several years and I paint on a fairly regular basis. Eric"
Eric replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"So sorry to hear this.....this is why I believe we should have a universal healthcare system in this country. Until the profit motive is removed from healthcare, people are always going to suffer for it. Sheesh! Eric"
Eric replied to jessica's discussion 'type 1 diabetics diagnosed later in life'"Thanks...yeah, if you can believe it, I got it in 1978 when I was 12! Can't really remember a time when I DIDN'T have it, honestly...hahaha..."Baby Come Back" by Player was #1 on the charts and I remember I had a little 78rpm of…"
Eric replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"Take it from me Sara, complications do NOT happen no matter what you do....they happen when you don't rise to the challenge and fight it. The best way to live a full and happy life is to meet it head on. Please trust me on this...I used to feel…"
Eric replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"Glad to see I'm not the only one , also. Never wanted to let this disease get the best of me mentally and I've always been pretty tough about it (32 years now), but lately I've found myself crying, ALOT. I can no longer drive, so…"

I know I'm sweet, but COME ON! said… Thanks Eric! It was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard the news 2 years ago, followed by, "You're obviously wrong, you better check YOUR numbers again!" As you can see I was a little angry. Hehehe, funny now that I can look back at it all. I've had my 12-step program and now at acceptance and proper maintenance. I'm not going to lie, there are days where I have that dessert, but it's so rare now I hardly miss it. :)
I LOVE you art work,it's breathe-taking.

Robyn said… Thank you Eric for the info. I am not sure what to do now. I have to see my eye dr. this coming week. The flickering I have in my eyes is causing migraines and I have to sut them for a time during the entire day. It will not go away, ever the Dr said. This will be documented. I am not going to give up, so IU will keep applying.
