Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 Dear ; I just want you and all the listers how much I appreciate this list, and how much I depend on it! I am Helen, married to Pete, a 37 year old type 1 diabetic who has multiple serious complications. Including end stage renal disease which he must go to the hemodialysis unit 3 times a week. Some days it's just awful! Pette's blood sugar easily goes up over 600, and has dropped to 20. I do all his care, and I read alot, and somedays things work, and some days they don't. What I find is a list of caring people whom I can turn to even though I usually just lurk. I find lots of comfort here. That last time I posted a letter on the list, Pete had been hauled to the hospital by the Paramedics with his BS at 20. I was scared and feeling really alone. I wrote to the list. Sam wrote a very sweet letter and I felt very reassured. I appreciate his posts as well as everyone elses! I appreciate what listers have to share about coping with diabetes! It helps Pete and I get through some rough times! Great letter ! I spent 3 years as a battered wife. Months would go by without any problems, then bam! No one needs to live through this! I left and found Pete. He is the best thing that has happened to me! Well, him and my daughters! Take care all, and hang in there ! Get help!
