Dano is the one to greet new ones to the forum, but I want to say hi as well. The long time effects and complications come with unattended diabetes. If you get into the routines and treatment and keep up the good work with healthy exercise your chances for NOT having any complications in the future is greatly reduced. Take your time, even if you think you’re on top of things now, there might come a moment when things change for the worse. The honeymoon period is over and your BG might spike some, but hang in there and drop a word in here. There are plenty of people here who have a lifetime experience to share with you. As for myself I’m new so I can't do more then to boost your spirit
Good luck !
