do not think you are retarded because you can only learn if you ask questions.

i was a type one diabetic i got it when i was 7 years old. i never had control of my blood sugars and that s why i had so many problems. it was just because i wanted to e like everyone else.

i lost my left leg because i had a blister on my heel that would never heal. the infection went into my bone and i ended up with gain Greene which caused my amputation. it is from poor circulations and not having control over your blood sugar.

i also ma legally blind nd i had total kidney failure in 2000 but after i went on dialysis i got on a donor transplant list and i received a kidney and A pancreas so i am no longer a diabetic but the damage i had already done to my body will never get better.

o lost my left leg about 4 years ago and it was a Long healing process because as a diabetic you heal a lot slower. but now i am up and using an artificial leg and doing pretty well. you can e mail me if you want any more information i will do my best to help you understand.
