I don't have a fear of dying either. I do have a fear of living blind,
on dialysis, half a person due to stroke or with my feet or even legs
lopped off due to non-healing ulcers. These are all *preventable*
complications of diabetes - *IF* we control the disease with eating
right, exercising and using our medications.
