<p>I've been a diabetic since 1979 and have taken Insulin every day since then. Right now I take 2 shots a day and I'll in a wheel chair without legs one of these days.</p><p>Since I've always been one who eats ONLY what I like, that has caused some of the problems. Of course I stay away from sugar and I have never been a drinker of anything except coffee and now diet Pepsi. But when I was a kid I use to eat a half dozen donuts and drink a Pepsi for breakfast! I'm sure that didn't help anything.</p><p>About 3 years ago I had to have surgery on my left foot that has left me disabled and un-able to work standing up for a length of time. </p><p>And since my wife gave up on me after I had the surgery, I now live by myself and just about all of my meals are fixed in the micro wave. So I would have to say the food that I'm getting is not exactly what I should have, but I guess it could be a lot worse.</p><p>At least I have my model railroads and a nice view of the NS and CN through town from a 6th floor apartment window. What more could you ask for?</p><p>I think when I retire full time I will stick a garden hose up my butt and rent myself out as a lawn sprinkler as I have so many holes in my body.</p><p>Cheers,</p><p>cf7</p>
