my gran is 85 and her best friend died from diabetes when they were kids - and she died because it had gone undiagnosed. my gran still talks about her, and the saddness of dying from a condition so easily treated now simply because it wasn't 'noticed' then
these conditions have always been around, but so often will have been undiagnosed
i know this certainly isn't your intention, but i feel quite uncomfortable reading some of the discussions above. illnesses manifest for many reasons, physical and spiritual - how many illnesses and conditions manifest for teach/learning purposes? to curtail lifestyle for inward seeking reasons? or to learn lessons of patience or love?
