I don't know anything more about her situation - what has or has not
been offered by the doctor(s) and what I told you was the extent of my
conversation with her on the subject. She's a big girl and can make
her own decisions. She has a friend who is a registered nurse, so I'm
sure that person has counseled her somewhat medically. I know nothing
about the subject of diabetes and prefer to remain ignorant until it
affects me personally and if it never does... ignorance is bliss.
