Darrell, I have lived with T2 diabetes for almost 7 years. It was caught very early, thanks to me being in an unrelated medical research program, and until about a year and a half ago was doing well without any medication. My grandfather, though, had serious complications before he was diagnosed, and my mother (his daughter) is on several medications and is starting to show signs of neuropathy. I know what they've gone through and what my mother faces and what I will face myself if I'm not very, very careful.

The very fact that you are out and about walking, enjoying life, is rosy enough.

And nice picture of you in the kilt
