Hi,, im not here much but this one really hit home! i was told i was brittle since day one,, altho i have had dr.s tell me im very brittle meaning very sensitive to EVERYTHING! But i had ONE dr tell me he didnt believe in it when i told him that i was brittle and it didnt exsit in his dictionary,, which at that point in my life was my last visit with him! Brittle has not only have to do with how sensitive you maybe to not only food but excersise,, illness such as colds and flus and infections,, but also has to do with your control too ive come to realize. For those who are told they are brittle need to put more work into themselves as far as taking control of your diabetes. When i was first told i was brittle i was young and dumb! i took that as to my advantage everytime i landed in the hospital or was out of control. With out the proper ins. i know that makes it even more challenging,, but anyone can still do it,, when i was with out insurance i would buy ketone strips to ck my urine to see how my bs were and i cut all those strips in half,, i did what ever it took and had to watch my diet even closer! Being brittle makes it a bit more of a challenge but thats what makes you strong. i too have many complications now,, NOT becuz im brittle but becuz i didnt care for myself in my younger years like i should have. Good luck. Take care Hugs Susie |
