My PA friend says diabetes is the silent killer. Had a friend who ended up in dialisis, then a kidney transplant, then heart valve replacement because of the damage done to her heart from the diabetis. It was sad to see her go through so much at the same age I was & end up suffering a fatal stroke in the end.
I hope you are able to get your blood sugar under control

I sure understand from others how difficult it is even when trying to eat right.
