Hi sharpwaa, and welcome to the forum!🙂 Sorry to hear that you have some problems with complications, but it sounds as though you are managing to stay positive in the face of adversity!

Hopefully, we'll be a little easier to understand than the South Americans🙂 Love the singnature - takes me back to the 'Oor Wullie' and The Broons' comics!:D
 
Buenos dias y bienvenida!

Hope you find this forum helpful!

Hasta pronto!

South America with diabetes

Hi Shapwaa / David
Tierra del Fuego / Patagonia is a great place, regardless of diabetes - my Spanish was good enough to negotiate all expedition tents, stoves, food etc for 30 people to go as cargo instead of excess baggage between Punta Arenas and Mount Pleasant (Falklands / Malvinas) in 2003 and arrange wildlife film shows in Torres del Paine national park, all because my Spanish conversation had been improved by discussions with a Chilean refugee from the 1973 coup, who, by chance, had type 2 diabetes. On a previous trip, further north, got stuck on the wrong side of a glacier fed stream in Argentinian Lake District - see post 9 in http://www.diabetessupport.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=3617&highlight=Argentin*
