I didn't know you're diabetic. I'm type-2 and take some pills...I don't inject anymore. Got it at the age of 39 and after I found out I became quite healthy and realised how bad I was actually feeling. I have a good diet and exercise a lot so it's all good. I hope you're managing it well also.
Don't be too hard on the 'old' G-dog, he ain't doing too bad at all, sharp. erudite, in shape, in fact, while there's just us here, be honest... Sometimes you look at some of the other 50 year old dudes and think Wow! Life's been tough on 'that dude', right?
I do this at times, but never out loud. I take good care of myself, don't drink to excess or smoke at all, never took drugs, literally never other that prescription medication, and generally look after myself. The alternative doesn't seem so smart.
